16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
16
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the one true God; whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the one true God. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
