¹⁹^*I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help. ²⁰Babies will no longer die in infancy, and all people will live out their life span. Those who live to be a hundred will be considered young. To die before that would be a sign that I had punished them. ^21–22People will build houses and live in them themselves—they will not be used by someone else. They will plant vineyards and enjoy the wine—it will not be drunk by others. Like trees, my people will live long lives. They will fully enjoy the things that they have worked for. ²³The work they do will be successful, and their children will not meet with disaster. I will bless them and their descendants for all time to come. ²⁴Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers. ²⁵^*Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill,^p there will be nothing harmful or evil.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I will rejoice in Jerusalem

and be glad in my people;

no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping

and the cry of distress.

No more shall 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 young man shall die a hundred years old,

and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.

They shall build houses and inhabit them;

they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

They shall not build and another inhabit;

they shall not plant and another eat;

for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,

and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

They shall not labor in vain

or bear children for calamity,

for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,

and their descendants with them.

Before they call I will answer;

while they are yet speaking I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;

the lion shall eat straw like the ox,

and dust shall be the serpent’s food.

They shall not hurt or destroy

in all my holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I will rejoice over Jerusalem

and take delight in my people;

the sound of weeping and of crying

will be heard in it no more.

“Never again will there be in it

an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not live out his years;

the one who dies at a hundred

will be thought a mere child;

the one who fails to reach a hundred

will be considered accursed.

They will build houses and dwell in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

No longer will they build houses and others live in them,

or plant and others eat.

For as the days of a tree,

so will be the days of my people;

my chosen ones will long enjoy

the work of their hands.

They will not labor in vain,

nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;

for they will be a people blessed by the Lord,

they and their descendants with them.

Before they call I will answer;

while they are still speaking I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox,

and dust will be the serpent’s food.

They will neither harm nor destroy

on all my holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I will rejoice in Jerusalem

and be glad in my people.

The sound of weeping and crying

will no longer be heard in her.

In her, a nursing infant will no longer live

only a few days,

or an old man not live out his days.

Indeed, the one who dies at a hundred years old will be mourned as a young man,

and the one who misses a hundred years will be considered cursed.

People will build houses and live in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

They will not build and others live in them;

they will not plant and others eat.

For my people’s lives will be

like the lifetime of a tree.

My chosen ones will fully enjoy

the work of their hands.

They will not labor without success

or bear children destined for disaster,

for they will be a people blessed by the Lord

along with their descendants.

Even before they call, I will answer;

while they are still speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

and the lion will eat straw like cattle,

but the serpent’s food will be dust!

They will not do what is evil or destroy

on my entire holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

I will rejoice over Jerusalem

and delight in my people.

And the sound of weeping and crying

will be heard in it no more.

“No longer will babies die when only a few days old.

No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.

No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!

Only the cursed will die that young!

In those days people will live in the houses they build

and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.

Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses

and confiscate their vineyards.

For my people will live as long as trees,

and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.

They will not work in vain,

and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.

For they are people blessed by the Lord,

and their children, too, will be blessed.

I will answer them before they even call to me.

While they are still talking about their needs,

I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

The wolf and the lamb will feed together.

The lion will eat hay like a cow.

But the snakes will eat dust.

In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.

I, the Lord, have spoken!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And I will shout in exultation over Jerusalem,

and I will rejoice over my people,

and the sound of weeping shall no longer be heard in it,

or the sound of a cry for help.

There will no longer be a nursing infant who lives only a few days,

or an old man who does not fill his days,

for the boy will die a hundred years old,

and the one who fails to reach a hundred years will be considered accursed.

And they shall build houses and inhabit them,

and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

They shall not build and another inhabit;

they shall not plant and another eat.

For the days of my people shall be like the days of a tree,

and my chosen ones shall enjoy the work of their hands.

They shall not labor for nothing,

and they shall not give birth to horror,

for they shall be offspring blessed by Yahweh,

and their descendants with them.

And this will happen: before they call, I myself will answer;

while still they are speaking, I myself will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed like one,

and the lion shall eat straw like the ox,

but dust shall be the serpent’s food.

They shall do no evil,

and they shall not destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:

And the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

There shall be no more thence an infant of days,

Nor an old man that hath not filled his days:

For the child shall die an hundred years old;

But the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;

And they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

They shall not build, and another inhabit;

They shall not plant, and another eat:

For as the days of a tree are the days of my people,

And mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

They shall not labour in vain,

Nor bring forth for trouble;

For they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord,

And their offspring with them.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer;

And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,

And the lion shall eat straw like the bullock:

And dust shall be the serpent’s meat.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
