Isaiah 65:18-25

18Then be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.

19I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in my people. The sound of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

20In her, a nursing infant will no longer live only a few days, or an old man not live out his days. Indeed, the one who dies at a hundred years old will be mourned as a young man, and the one who misses a hundred years will be considered cursed.

21People will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22They will not build and others live in them; they will not plant and others eat. For my people’s lives will be like the lifetime of a tree. My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.

23They will not labor without success or bear children destined for disaster, for they will be a people blessed by the Lord along with their descendants.

24Even before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.

25The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like cattle, but the serpent’s food will be dust! They will not do what is evil or destroy on my entire holy mountain,” says the Lord.
