17 "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

And the former things will not be remembered or come to *mind.

18 "But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;

For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing

And her people for gladness.

19 "I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people;

And there will no longer be heard in her

The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.
