12 But I decided what would happen to you: you will be killed with a sword. You will all be killed because I called to you, but you refused to answer me. I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You did what I said is evil and chose to do what I did not like.”

13 So this is what the Lord God says:
“My servants will eat,
    but you evil people will be hungry.
My servants will drink,
    but you will be thirsty.
My servants will be happy,
    but you will suffer shame.
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.
