Isaiah 65:18-25

18But be 1glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness.19I will also 2rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of 3weeping and the sound of crying.20No longer will there be 4in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does 5not 6live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the 78one who does not reach the age of one hundred Will be thought accursed.21They will 9build houses and inhabit them; They will also 10plant vineyards and eat their fruit.22They will not build and 11another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; For 12as the 13lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen ones will 14wear out the work of their hands.23They will 15not labor in vain, Or bear children for calamity; For they are the 1617offspring of those blessed by the Lord, And their descendants with them. 24It will also come to pass that before they call, I will 18answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25The 19wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the 20lion will eat straw like the ox; and 21dust will be the serpent’s food. They will 22do no evil or harm in all My 23holy mountain,” says the Lord.
