Isaiah 65

A New Creation

17 "For I will create new heavens and a new earth;  * 65:17 Is 66:22; 2Pt 3:13; Rv 21:1

the past events will not be remembered or come to mind.

18 Then be glad and rejoice forever

in what I am creating;

for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy

and its people to be a delight.

19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem

and be glad in my people.

The sound of weeping and crying

will no longer be heard in her.  * 65:19 Is 25:8; 30:19; 35:10; 51:11; Rv 7:17; 21:4
