Isaiah 65:17-25

17For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.1 The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.18But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.19I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

20No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days,or an old man fail to live out his years.For the youth will die at a hundred years,and he who fails to reach a hundredwill be considered accursed.21They will build houses and dwell in them;they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit,nor plant for others to eat.For as is the lifetime of a tree,so will be the days of My people,and My chosen ones will fully enjoythe work of their hands.
23They will not labor in vainor bear children doomed to disaster;for they will be a people blessed by the LORD—they and their descendants with them.24Even before they call, I will answer,and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25The wolf and the lamb will feed together,and the lion will eat straw like the ox,but the food of the serpent2 will be dust.They will neither harm nor destroyon all My holy mountain,”says the LORD.
