11 “But you people left the Lord, so you will be punished. You forgot about my holy mountain. You began to worship Luck. You held feasts for the false god, Fate.
12 But I decided what would happen to you: you will be killed with a sword. You will all be killed because I called to you, but you refused to answer me. I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You did what I said is evil and chose to do what I did not like.”
13 So this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you evil people will be hungry. My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. My servants will be happy, but you will suffer shame.
14 My servants will shout for joy, but you will cry out in pain. Your spirits will be broken, and you will be very sad.
15 Your names will be like curses to my chosen servants.” The Lord GOD will kill you, and then he will call his servants by a new name.
16 The Lord says, “People now ask blessings from the earth. But in the future they will ask blessings from the faithful God. People now trust in the power of the earth when they make a promise. But in the future they will trust in the God who is faithful. That’s because the troubles in the past will all be forgotten. They will be hidden from my sight.”
17 “I am creating a new heaven and a new earth. The troubles of the past will be forgotten. No one will remember them.
