12     Will find yourselves a bit unlucky and your destiny an early death.
        You’ll bow down and be killed like sheep brought to the slaughter
    Because when I called you, you did not answer;
        when I spoke, you refused to listen.
    Instead you did all the wrong things and made terrible choices—
        what I expressly said that I hate.

13 So this is what the Lord, the Eternal, has to say:

Eternal One: My servants will eat and eat well, while you go hungry;
        My servants will drink and be satisfied, while you are parched with thirst;
    My servants will celebrate with joy, while you are put to shame.
14         My servants will sing with gladness in their hearts,
    While you cry out in anguish and despair and bemoan your brokenness.

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.
