15. I, the Lord God, promiseto see that you are killedand that my chosen servants useyour names as curse words.But I will give new namesto my servants.
16. I am God! I can be trusted.Your past troubles are gone;I no longer think of them.When you pray for someoneto receive a blessing,or when you make a promise,you must do it in my name.I alone am the Godwho can be trusted.
17. I am creating new heavensand a new earth;everything of the pastwill be forgotten.
18. Celebrate and be glad for ever!I am creating a Jerusalem,full of happy people.
19. I will celebrate with Jerusalemand all its people;there will be no more cryingor sorrow in that city.
