Isaiah 65:18
Compare all
16 aSo that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And bhe who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes. 

The Glorious New Creation

17 “For behold, I create anew heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or1 come to mind. 
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
19 aI will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The bvoice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying. 
20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. 
21 aThey shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and aanother eat;
For bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 
23 They shall not labor in vain,
aNor bring forth children for trouble;
For bthey shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them. 
24 “It shall come to pass
That abefore they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will bhear.
