Isaiah 65:15 in context

Isaiah 65:12–18

12

I will destine you to the sword,

and you will all bow down to the slaughter;

because when I called, you didn’t answer.

When I spoke, you didn’t listen;

but you did that which was evil in my eyes,

and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”

13

Therefore the Lord GOD says,

“Behold, my servants will eat,

but you will be hungry;

behold, my servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

Behold, my servants will rejoice,

but you will be disappointed.

14

Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,

but you will cry for sorrow of heart,

and will wail for anguish of spirit.

15
Selected verse

You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen,

and the Lord GOD will kill you.

He will call his servants by another name,

16

so that he who blesses himself on the earth will bless himself in the God of truth;

and he who swears on the earth will swear by the God of truth;

because the former troubles are forgotten,

and because they are hidden from my eyes.

17

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

and the former things will not be remembered,

nor come into mind.

18

But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;

for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight,

and her people a joy.
