‏ Isaiah 65:15-16

15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. ^{▼▼tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”} ^{▼▼sn For an example of such a curse formula see Jer 29:22.}
The Sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
16 Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth ^{▼▼tn Or “in the land” (NIV, NCV, NRSV). The same phrase occurs again later in this verse, with the same options.}
will do so in the name of the faithful God; ^{▼▼tn Heb “will pronounce a blessing by the God of truth.”}
whoever makes an oath in the earth
will do so in the name of the faithful God. ^{▼▼tn Heb “will take an oath by the God of truth.”}
For past problems will be forgotten;
I will no longer think about them. ^{▼▼tn Heb “for the former distresses will be forgotten, and they will be hidden from my eyes.”}
