## Isaiah 65:16-17 in Context (Verses 13–20 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/13) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/14) Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/15) And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/17) ¶ For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/18) But be ye glad and rejoice for ever *in that* which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/19) And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/isaiah/65/20) There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner *being* an hundred years old shall be accursed.
 
[Isaiah 64](/kjv/isaiah/64) [Isaiah 66](/kjv/isaiah/66)
