12 I will destine you for the sword,
    and all of you will submit to the slaughter,
because, when I called, you did not respond,
    and when I spoke, you refused to listen.
Rather, you did what was evil in my sight
    and chose to do what displeases me.
13 Therefore, this is what I have decreed,
    says the Lord God:
My servants will eat,
    but you will go hungry;
my servants will drink,
    but you will be thirsty;
my servants will rejoice,
    but you will be put to shame;
14 with gladness in their hearts
    my servants will sing for joy,
but you will cry out in heartfelt grief
    and wail in your anguish of spirit.

but you will cry out(M)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
