Context of Isaiah 65:19

17“Behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things [of life] will not be remembered or come to mind. 18But be glad and rejoice forever over what I create; Behold, I am creating Jerusalem to be a source of rejoicing And her people a joy. I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying. 20No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives only a few days, Or an old man who does not finish his days; For the youth who dies at the age of a hundred, And the one who does not reach the age of a hundred Will be thought of as accursed. 21They will build houses and live in them; They will plant vineyards and eat the fruit.
