14 My servants will sing(A)
    out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(B)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
    for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(C)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
    but to his servants he will give another name.(D)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(E) in the land
    will do so by the one true God;(F)
whoever takes an oath in the land
    will swear(G) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(H) will be forgotten
    and hidden from my eyes.
