"My servants"

Text: Isaiah 65:13

THE LORD’S TRUE SERVANTS

The LORD distinguished between true and false servants. The faithful servants of God would receive His blessings!

“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
‘Behold, My servants shall eat,
But you shall be hungry;
Behold, My servants shall drink,
But you shall be thirsty;
Behold, My servants shall rejoice,
But you shall be ashamed;
Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And wail for grief of spirit.'”
