Isaiah 65:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen ones
when the Lord God slays you,
and calls his servants by another name.
16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land
shall bless by the God of truth;[a]
Whoever takes an oath in the land
shall swear by the God of truth;
For the hardships of the past shall be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.
A World Renewed
17 [b]See, I am creating new heavens
and a new earth;
The former things shall not be remembered
nor come to mind.(A)
Footnotes
- 65:16 God of truth: lit., “God of Amen,” i.e., the one who keeps his word.
- 65:17–18 The new creation (cf. 66:22) is described with apocalyptic exuberance: long life, material prosperity, and so forth. As the former events in 43:18 are to be forgotten, so also the new creation wipes out memory of the first creation.
Isaiah 65:15-17
New International Version
15 You will leave your name
for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(A)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(B)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(C) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(D)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(E) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(F) will be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.
