Context of Isaiah 65:19

17For look, I am ready to create new heavens and a new earth! The former ones will not be remembered; no one will think about them anymore. 18But be happy and rejoice forevermore over what I am about to create! For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem to be a source of joy, and her people to be a source of happiness. Jerusalem will bring me joy, and my people will bring me happiness. The sound of weeping or cries of sorrow will never be heard in her again. 20Never again will one of her infants live just a few days or an old man die before his time. Indeed, no one will die before the age of a hundred, anyone who fails to reach the age of a hundred will be considered cursed. 21They will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
