Isaiah 65:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ My servants will shout for joy,
    but you will cry out in pain.^[a]
Your spirits will be broken,
    and you will be very sad.
¹⁵ Your names will be like curses to my chosen servants.”
    The Lord God will kill you,
    and then he will call his servants by a new name.
¹⁶ The Lord says, “People now ask blessings from the earth.
    But in the future they will ask blessings from the faithful God.
People now trust in the power of the earth when they make a promise.
    But in the future they will trust in the God who is faithful.
That’s because the troubles in the past will all be forgotten.
    They will be hidden from my sight.”
