¹⁶ "Because he who is blessed in the earth Will be blessed by the God of truth ; And he who swears in the earth Will swear by the God of truth ; Because the former troubles are forgotten , And because they are hidden from My sight !

¹⁶ So that he who blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth, and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten and are hidden from my eyes.

¹⁶ Then whoever prays a blessing in the land will use my faithful name for the blessing, And whoever takes an oath in the land will use my faithful name for the oath, Because the earlier troubles are gone and forgotten, banished far from my sight. New Heavens and a New Earth
