Isaiah 65:9-19

New International Version

⁹I will bring forth descendants^(A) from Jacob,
    and from Judah those who will possess^(B) my mountains;
my chosen^(C) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.^(D)
¹⁰Sharon^(E) will become a pasture for flocks,^(F)
    and the Valley of Achor^(G) a resting place for herds,
    for my people who seek^(H) me.

¹¹“But as for you who forsake^(I) the Lord
    and forget my holy mountain,^(J)
who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill bowls of mixed wine^(K) for Destiny,
¹²I will destine you for the sword,^(L)
    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;^(M)
for I called but you did not answer,^(N)
    I spoke but you did not listen.^(O)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”^(P)

¹³Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,^(Q)
    but you will go hungry;^(R)
my servants will drink,^(S)
    but you will go thirsty;^(T)
my servants will rejoice,^(U)
    but you will be put to shame.^(V)
¹⁴My servants will sing^(W)
    out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out^(X)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
¹⁵You will leave your name
    for my chosen ones to use in their curses;^(Y)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
    but to his servants he will give another name.^(Z)
¹⁶Whoever invokes a blessing^(AA) in the land
    will do so by the one true God;^(AB)
whoever takes an oath in the land
    will swear^(AC) by the one true God.
For the past troubles^(AD) will be forgotten
    and hidden from my eyes.

New Heavens and a New Earth

¹⁷“See, I will create
    new heavens and a new earth.^(AE)
The former things will not be remembered,^(AF)
    nor will they come to mind.
¹⁸But be glad and rejoice^(AG) forever
    in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem^(AH) to be a delight
    and its people a joy.
¹⁹I will rejoice^(AI) over Jerusalem
    and take delight^(AJ) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying^(AK)
    will be heard in it no more.
