“For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, || And the former things are not remembered, || Nor do they ascend on the heart.”— Isaiah 65:17 (LSV)
14Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, || And you cry from pain of heart, || And you howl from breaking of spirit.
15And you have left your name || For an oath for My chosen ones, || And Lord YHWH has put you to death, || And He gives another name to His servants;
16So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, || Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, || And he who is swearing in the earth, || Swears by the God of faithfulness, || Because the former distresses have been forgotten, || And because they have been hid from My eyes.
17For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, || And the former things are not remembered, || Nor do they ascend on the heart.
18But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, || For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, || And her people a joy.
19And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, || And have rejoiced in My people, || And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
20There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, || And an aged man who does not complete his days, || For the youth dies one hundred years old, || And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
