Isaiah 65:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
17 For lo, I will create [e]new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered nor come into mind.
