¹⁷ For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. ¹⁸ But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. ¹⁹ And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more. ² And I saw ^[a]the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall ^[b]dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, ^[c]and be their God: ⁴ and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
