Isaiah

Isaiah 65:17–19

¹⁷For behold, I will create

new heavens and a new earth.^f

The former things will not be remembered,

nor will they come to mind.

¹⁸But be glad and rejoice forever

in what I create;

for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy

and its people to be a delight.

¹⁹I will rejoice in Jerusalem

and take delight in My people.

The sounds of weeping and crying

will no longer be heard in her.
