Isaiah 65:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, and ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of mind.
15 And ye shall leave your name as a curse unto my [a]chosen; for the Lord God shall slay you, and call his servants by [b]another name.
16 He that shall bless in the [c]earth, shall bless himself in the true God; and he that sweareth in the earth, shall swear by the true God; for the former [d]troubles are forgotten, and shall surely hide themselves from mine eyes.

New International Version
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.
