Isaiah 65:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ My chosen ones will use your names
    when they curse others.
I am your Lord and King.
    I will put you to death.
    But I will give new names to those who serve me.
¹⁶ They will ask me to bless their land.
    They will do it in my name.
    I am the one true God.
They will make promises in their land.
    They will do it in my name.
    I am the one true God.
The troubles of the past will be forgotten.
    They will be hidden from my eyes.

¹⁷ “I will create new heavens and a new earth.
    The things that have happened before will not be remembered.
    They will not even enter your minds.
