18But be 1gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 foreverH5703 in whatH834 I createH1254; For beholdH2009, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 for rejoicingH1525 And her peopleH5971 for gladnessH4885.19I will also 2rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389 and be gladH7797 in My peopleH5971; And there will noH3808 longerH5750 be heardH8085 in her The voiceH6963 of 3weepingH1065 and the soundH6963 of cryingH2201.20NoH3808 longerH5750 will there be 4in it an infantH5764 who lives but a few daysH3117, Or an oldH2205 manH2205 whoH834 does 5not 6liveH4390 out his daysH3117; For the youthH5288 will dieH4191 at the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 And the 7 8one who does not reachH2398 the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 Will be thought accursedH7043.21They will 9buildH1129 housesH1004 and inhabitH3427 them; They will also 10plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and eatH398 their fruitH6529.22They will not buildH1129 and 11anotherH312 inhabitH3427, They will not plantH5193 and anotherH312 eatH398; For 12as the 13lifetimeH3117 of a treeH6086, so will be the daysH3117 of My peopleH5971, And My chosenH972 onesH972 will 14wearH1086 out the workH4639 of their handsH3027.23They will 15not laborH3021 in vainH7385, Or bearH3205 children for calamityH928; For they are the 16 17offspringH2233 of those blessedH1288 by the LordH3068, And their descendantsH6631 with them. 24It will also comeH1961 to passH1961 that beforeH2962 they callH7121, I will 18answerH6030; and while they are stillH5750 speakingH1696, I will hearH8085. 25The 19wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 will grazeH7462 togetherH259, and the 20lionH743 will eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241; and 21dustH6083 will be the serpent’sH5175 foodH3899. They will 22doH7489 noH3808 evilH7489 or harmH7843 in allH3605 My 23holyH6944 mountainH2022,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
