Isaiah 65:9-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. I will bring forth offspring from Jacob,and from Judah possessors of my mountains;my chosen shall possess it,and my servants shall dwell there.

10. Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks,and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,for my people who have sought me.

11. But you who forsake the Lord,who forget my holy mountain,who set a table for Fortuneand fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,

12. I will destine you to the sword,and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter, because, when I called, you did not answer;when I spoke, you did not listen, but you did what was evil in my eyesand chose what I did not delight in.”

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 put to shame;

14. behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,but you shall cry out for pain of heartand shall wail for breaking of spirit.
