Isaiah 65

God answers a people who did not seek him and rebukes a rebellious one that provokes him to his face. He will not destroy them all: as new wine is kept in a cluster, a faithful remnant will inherit his mountains. Then comes the promise of new heavens and a new earth, where there is no more weeping, people build houses and live in them, God answers before they call, and the wolf and the lamb feed together.
