17  “For behold, I create ^lnew heavens

and a new earth,

and ^mthe former things shall not be remembered

ⁿor come into mind.

18  But be glad and rejoice forever

in that which I create;

for behold, I create Jerusalem to be ^oa joy,

and her people to be a gladness.

19  ^pI will rejoice in Jerusalem

and be glad in my people;

^qno more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping

and the cry of distress.

22  “For as the ^tnew heavens and the new earth

that I make

shall remain before me, says the Lord,

so shall your offspring and your name remain.
