Isaiah 65 — Context

12

Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.

13

For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:

14

My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.

15

And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:

16

So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.

17

For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.

18

But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.
