17 For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, || And the former things are not remembered, || Nor do they ascend on the heart. 18 But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, || For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, || And her people a joy. 19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, || And have rejoiced in My people, || And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
