“But you who abandon (turn away from) the Lord,
Who forget and ignore My holy mountain (Zion),
Who set a table for Gad [the Babylonian god of fortune],
And who fill a jug of mixed wine for Meni [the god of fate],
12 
I will destine you for the sword, [says the Lord],
And all of you will bow down to the slaughter,
Because when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not listen or obey.
But you did [what was] evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”

13 Therefore, the Lord God says this,

“Listen carefully, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry;
Indeed, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty;
Indeed, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

    and forget my holy mountain,(B)

    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(E)
for I called but you did not answer,(F)
    I spoke but you did not listen.(G)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(H)

my servants will rejoice,(M)
    but you will be put to shame.(N)
