13Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, my seruants shall eate, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my seruants shall drinke, but yee shall be thirstie: behold, my seruants shall reioyce, but yee shall be ashamed. 14Behold, my seruants shall sing for ioy of heart, but yee shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of spirit. 15And yee shall leaue your name for a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his seruants by another name: 16That he who blesseth himselfe in the earth, shall blesse himselfe in the God of trueth; and he that sweareth in the earth, shall sweare by the God of trueth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 17¶ For behold, I create new heauens, and a new earth: & the former shal not be remembred, nor come into mind.
