“Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry.
Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty.

And you will wail with a broken spirit.

When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die.
