12 I decide your fate, and I will punish you with my sword.
    You will all be killed,
because I called you, but you refused to answer.
    I spoke to you, but you wouldn’t listen.
You did the things I said were evil
    and chose to do things that displease me.”

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 evil people will be thirsty.
My servants will be happy,
    but you evil people will be shamed.
14 My servants will shout for joy
    because of the goodness of their hearts,
but you evil people will cry,
    because you will be sad.
    You will cry loudly, because your spirits will be broken.

    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.
