Judgment And Salvation

15 And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name: 16 So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes. 17 For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.
