13. Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, My servants shall eat,But you shall be hungry;Behold, My servants shall drink,But you shall be thirsty;Behold, My servants shall rejoice,But you shall be ashamed;
14. Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,And wail for grief of spirit.
15. You shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen;For the Lord God will slay you,And call His servants by another name;
16. So that he who blesses himself 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 forgotten,And because they are hidden from My eyes.
17. “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
18. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,And her people a joy.
19. I will rejoice in Jerusalem,And joy in My people;The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,Nor the voice of crying.
20. “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;For the child shall die one hundred years old,But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
