Isaiah 65:19-23

19I will also 1rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of 2weeping and the sound of crying.20No longer will there be 3in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does 4not 5live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the 6 7one who does not reach the age of one hundred Will be thought accursed.21They will 8build houses and inhabit them; They will also 9plant vineyards and eat their fruit.22They will not build and 10another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; For 11as the 12lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen ones will 13wear out the work of their hands.23They will 14not labor in vain, Or bear children for calamity; For they are the 15 16offspring of those blessed by the Lord, And their descendants with them.
