Isaiah 65:18 in Context — Isaiah 65

16 Celui qui voudra être béni dans le pays Voudra l’être par le Dieu de vérité, Et celui qui jurera dans le pays Jurera par le Dieu de vérité; Car les anciennes souffrances seront oubliées, Elles seront cachées à mes yeux.

17 Car je vais créer de nouveaux cieux Et une nouvelle terre; On ne se rappellera plus les choses passées, Elles ne reviendront plus à l’esprit.

18 Réjouissez-vous plutôt et soyez à toujours dans l’allégresse, A cause de ce que je vais créer; Car je vais créer Jérusalem pour l’allégresse, Et son peuple pour la joie.

19 Je ferai de Jérusalem mon allégresse, Et de mon peuple ma joie; On n’y entendra plus Le bruit des pleurs et le bruit des cris.

20 Il n’y aura plus ni enfants ni vieillards Qui n’accomplissent leurs jours; Car celui qui mourra à cent ans sera jeune, Et le pécheur âgé de cent ans sera maudit.
