11 But punishment will come
    to those people who turn away from the Lord.
You forget to worship me on my holy mountain.[a]
Instead, you prepare food and wine
    to offer to your false gods called “Luck” and “Fate”.
12 So this will be your fate:
    a sword will kill you.
You will all bend down low for someone to kill you.
This will happen because you did not answer me
    when I spoke to you.
You did not even listen to my words.
You did evil things against me.
You chose to do things that I would hate.’

13 So the Almighty Lord says this:

‘Look! My servants will eat,
    but you will be hungry.
Look! My servants will drink,
    but you will be thirsty.
Look! My servants will be happy,
    but you will be ashamed.
