12. Your luck will end!I will see to it that youare slaughtered with swords.You refused to answerwhen I called out;you paid no attentionto my instructions.Instead, you did what I hated,knowing it was wrong.
13. I, the Lord God, will givefood and drink to my servants,and they will celebrate.But all of you sinnerswill go hungry and thirsty,overcome with disgrace.
14. My servants will laugh and sing,but you will be sadand cry out in pain.
15. I, the Lord God, promiseto see that you are killedand that my chosen servants useyour names as curse words.But I will give new namesto my servants.
16. I am God! I can be trusted.Your past troubles are gone;I no longer think of them.When you pray for someoneto receive a blessing,or when you make a promise,you must do it in my name.I alone am the Godwho can be trusted.
17. I am creating new heavensand a new earth;everything of the pastwill be forgotten.
18. Celebrate and be glad for ever!I am creating a Jerusalem,full of happy people.
