Isaiah 65:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹²So I will make it your fate to be killed by swords.
    All of you will die in the battle.
That’s because I called out to you, but you did not answer me.
    I spoke to you, but you did not listen.
You did what is evil in my sight.
    You chose to do what does not please me.”

¹³So the Lord and King says,

“Those who serve me will have food to eat.
    But you will be hungry.
My servants will have plenty to drink.
    But you will be thirsty.
Those who serve me will be full of joy.
    But you will be put to shame.
¹⁴My servants will sing
    with joy in their hearts.
But you will cry out
    because of the great pain in your hearts.
    You will cry because your spirits are sad.
