Isaiah 65:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ I am God! I can be trusted.
Your past troubles are gone;
    I no longer think of them.
When you pray for someone
    to receive a blessing,
or when you make a promise,
    you must do it in my name.
I alone am the God
    who can be trusted.

^17 (A) I am creating new heavens
    and a new earth;
everything of the past
    will be forgotten.
¹⁸ Celebrate and be glad forever!
I am creating a Jerusalem,
    full of happy people.
