14Behold, my seruants shall sing for ioy of heart, but yee shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of spirit. 15And yee shall leaue your name for a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his seruants by another name: 16That he who blesseth himselfe in the earth, shall blesse himselfe in the God of trueth; and he that sweareth in the earth, shall sweare by the God of trueth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 17¶ For behold, I create new heauens, and a new earth: & the former shal not be remembred, nor come into mind. 18But bee you glad and reioyce for euer in that which I create: for beholde, I create Ierusalem a reioycing, and her people a ioy.
