13 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry.
Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty.
Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated.
14 Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts.[a]
But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts;[b]
you will wail because your spirits will be crushed.[c]
15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones.[d]
The Sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
