Isaiah 65:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶Whoever speaks a blessing in this special land
    will invoke the God of truth;
Whoever takes a vow in the land of promise
    will make his pledge by the God of truth.
For the bitterness and pain of earlier times will nevermore come to mind;
    they’ll be hidden even from My eyes, God says.

¹⁷Eternal One: Now look here!
        I am creating new heavens and a new earth.
    The weary and painful past will be as if it never happened.
        No one will talk or even think about it anymore.
¹⁸    So take joy and celebrate with unending gladness
        on account of what I am creating.
    Look carefully! I am making this place I’ve chosen, this Jerusalem, a city of joy.
        I’m making her citizens, My people, a people of gladness.
