12 So this will be your fate:
    a sword will kill you.
You will all bend down low for someone to kill you.
This will happen because you did not answer me
    when I spoke to you.
You did not even listen to my words.
You did evil things against me.
You chose to do things that I would hate.’

13 So the Almighty Lord says this:

‘Look! My servants will eat,
    but you will be hungry.
Look! My servants will drink,
    but you will be thirsty.
Look! My servants will be happy,
    but you will be ashamed.
14 Yes, my servants will sing with joy
    because they are so happy.
But you will cry aloud
    because you are so sad.
You will weep
    because you are very upset.

12 I will destine you for the sword,(A)
    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(B)
for I called but you did not answer,(C)
    I spoke but you did not listen.(D)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(E)

13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,(F)
    but you will go hungry;(G)
my servants will drink,(H)
    but you will go thirsty;(I)
my servants will rejoice,(J)
    but you will be put to shame.(K)
14 My servants will sing(L)
    out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(M)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
