    those who bow to me shall eat
    and you shall be hungry.
    Those who bow to me will find water to drink

    Those who bow to me shall find happiness
    but shame shall take hold of you (plur.).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So the LORD has spoken like this,
    "Look, my servants will get to eat.

    My servants will celebrate with rejoicing, but you will fall into shame.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore I, the Lord GOD, says that my servants will-eat and will-drink, but you (plur.) on-the-other-hand will-be-hungry and thirsty. They will-rejoice, but you (plur.) on-the-other-hand will-be-put-to-shame.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink,
    and they will be happy;
    but all you evil people will be hungry and thirsty,
