Context of Isaiah 65:19

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. And 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.
