“Look! My servants shall eat but[a] you, you shall be hungry.
Look! My servants shall drink but[b] you, you shall be thirsty.
Look! My servants shall rejoice but[c] you, you shall be ashamed.
14 Look! My servants shall shout for joy,[d] but[e] you, you shall cry out for pain[f] and howl for sadness.[g]
15 And you shall leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse,
    and the Lord Yahweh will kill you, and he will give[h] his servants another name.
