Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Look, my servants will have plenty to eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will have plenty to drink, but you will be thirsty. My servants will celebrate with joy, but you will be filled with shame.
God is declaring that those who faithfully serve Him will be blessed and satisfied, while those who rebel against Him will experience want and disappointment.
📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from Isaiah's prophecy about God's judgment and restoration. Isaiah was speaking to the people of Judah who had turned away from God to worship idols and follow pagan practices. The contrast between 'my servants' and 'you' distinguishes between the faithful remnant who remained loyal to God and those who had rebelled against Him.
