Context of Isaiah 65:19

17“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. 18But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness. I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying. 20No longer will there be in it an infant who lives only a few days, Or an old person who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of a hundred, And the one who does not reach the age of a hundred Will be thought accursed. 21They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
