17 Look! I’m going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won’t be remembered—they won’t cross anyone’s mind! 18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I’m going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy. 19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won’t ever be heard there again.
