Isaiah 65:11-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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

12. You I will destine for the sword;you shall all bow down for slaughter;Because I called and you did not answer,I spoke and you did not listen,But did what is evil in my sightand things I do not delight in, you chose,

13. therefore thus says the Lord God:My servants shall eat,but you shall go hungry;My servants shall drink,but you shall be thirsty;My servants shall rejoice,but you shall be put to shame;

14. My servants shall shoutfor joy of heart,But you shall cry out for grief of heart,and howl for anguish of spirit.

15. You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen oneswhen the Lord God slays you,and calls his servants by another name.

16. Whoever invokes a blessing in the landshall bless by the God of truth;Whoever takes an oath in the landshall swear by the God of truth;For the hardships of the past shall be forgottenand hidden from my eyes.

17. See, I am creating new heavensand a new earth;The former things shall not be rememberednor come to mind.
