Isaiah 65:11-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. But you are those who forsake the Lord,who forget My holy mountain,who prepare a table for Fortune,and who furnish the drink offering for Destiny.

12. I will destine you for the sword,and you all shall bow down to the slaughter;because when I called, you did not answer;when I spoke, you did not hearbut did evil before My eyesand chose that in which I did not delight.

13. Therefore, thus says the Lord God: My servants shall eat,but you shall be hungry;My servants shall drink,but you shall be thirsty;My servants shall rejoice,but you shall be ashamed;

14. My servants shall sing for joywith a glad heart,but you shall crywith a heavy heartand shall wail with grief of spirit.

15. You shall leave your namefor a curse to My chosen ones;for the Lord God shall slay you,but My servants shall be called by another name;

16. because he who is blessed in the earthshall bless himself in the God of truth;and he who swears in the earthshall swear by the God of truth;because the former troubles are forgottenand because they are hidden from My eyes.

17. For I createnew heavens and a new earth;the former things shall not be rememberedor come to mind.
