Isaiah 65:16 in Context — Isaiah 65

14 Eis que meus servos cantarão de coração contente, porém vós gritareis de tristeza do coração; e uivareis pela angústia de espírito.

15 E deixarei vosso nome a meus eleitos como maldição; e o Senhor DEUS te matará; porém ele chamará aos seus servos por outro nome.

16 Quem se bendisser na terra, se bendirá no Deus da verdade; e quem jurar na terra, jurará pelo Deus da verdade; porque serão esquecidas as angústias passadas, e porque elas estarão encobertas de diante de meus olhos.

17 Porque eis que eu crio novos céus e nova terra; e não haverá[mais ] lembrança das coisas passadas, nem mais virão à mente.

18 Porém vós ficai contentes e alegrai-vos para sempre [naquilo] que eu crio; porque eis que crio a Jerusalém uma alegria, e a seu povo um contentamento.
