Isaiah 65:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

14 My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.

15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.

16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.

17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
