15 You shall leave your namefor a curse to My chosen ones;for the Lord God shall slay you,but My servants shall be called by another name;
16 because he who is blessed in the earthshall bless himself in the God of truth;and he who swears in the earthshall swear by the God of truth;because the former troubles are forgottenand because they are hidden from My eyes.
17 For I createnew heavens and a new earth;the former things shall not be rememberedor come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice foreverin that which I create;for I create Jerusalem for rejoicingand her people for joy.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalemand be glad in My people;and the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall no longer bean infant who lives only a few daysnor an old man who has not filled out his days.For the child shall diea hundred years old,but the sinner being a hundred years oldshall be accursed.
21 They shall build houses and inhabit them;and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
