15 You shall leave your name to (A)my chosen (B)for a curse,
    and the Lord God will put you to death,
    but his servants (C)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (D)blesses himself in the land
    shall bless himself by (E)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
    shall swear by (F)the God of truth;
(G)because the former troubles are forgotten
    and are hidden from my eyes.

New Heavens and a New Earth

17 “For behold, (H)I create new heavens
    and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
    or come into mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever
    in that which I create;
for behold, (I)I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
    and her people to be a gladness.
19 (J)I will rejoice in Jerusalem
    and be glad in my people;

    and the cry of distress.
