Isaiah 65:17-25

17Listen! I will create new heavens and a new earth. People will not remember what things were like before. Those thoughts will not be in their minds at all.

18But be happy about what I will create! Be happy for ever! I will create Jerusalem as a happy place. The people who live there will be full of joy.

19And Jerusalem will cause me to be happy. My people will give me joy. There will be no noise of people who are weeping. People will not be sad in Jerusalem again.

20Never again will there be a baby who only lives for a few days. Old men will continue to live a long life. People will live until they are 100 years old and they will still seem young. If anyone dies before he is 100 years old, people will think that God has cursed him.

21My people will build houses and they will live in them. They will plant vineyards and they will eat the fruit from them.

22They will no longer build houses and then other people live in them. They will not plant trees and then other people to eat the fruit. My people will have long lives, as long as trees live. My own people will live to enjoy the things that they have worked hard to get.

23Their work will not be useless. They will not give birth to children who will live in fear. Instead, the Lord will bless their children. He will bless them and their descendants with them.

24Before they call to me for help, I will answer them. While they are still praying, I will hear them.

25At that time, wolves and lambs will eat together. Lions will eat straw like cows. A snake's food will be dirt. Nothing will hurt or destroy anything else anywhere on my holy mountain.’ That is what the Lord says.
