Context of Isaiah 65:21
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. My 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.
