Context of Isaiah 65:19

17For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered or come to mind. 18But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating. For behold, I am creating Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people for joy. Then I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in My people. No longer will the voice of weeping or the voice of crying be heard in her. 20No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days. For the youth will die at a hundred years, But one who misses the mark of a hundred must be accursed. 21They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
