3:13

In Isaiah 65:17, God says, “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth,” (see also Isaiah 66:22). It is very possible that Peter was thinking here about what Isaiah had recorded in those passages.

where righteousness dwells: The meaning is that in that place everything will be good, and people will do only what is right and just.
