Isaiah 65:11-16
New International Version
Isaiah 65:11-16
New International Version
11 “But as for you who forsake(A) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(B)
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine(C) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(D)
and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(E)
for I called but you did not answer,(F)
I spoke but you did not listen.(G)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(H)
13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“My servants will eat,(I)
but you will go hungry;(J)
my servants will drink,(K)
but you will go thirsty;(L)
my servants will rejoice,(M)
but you will be put to shame.(N)
14 My servants will sing(O)
out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(P)
from anguish of heart
and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(Q)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(R)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(S) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(T)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(U) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(V) will be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.

King James Version
Isaiah 65:11-16
King James Version
11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
