Context of Isaiah 65:19

17“For I will create new heavens and a new earth; the past events will not be remembered or come to mind. 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. I 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.
