Isaiah 65 — Context

I will destine you for the sword, And all of you will bow down to the slaughter. Because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight."

Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

"Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will cry out with a heavy heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit.

"You will leave your name for a curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord GOD will slay you. But My servants will be called by another name.

"Because he who is blessed in the earth Will be blessed by the God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Will swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

"But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness.
