Isaiah 65:17–23

¹⁷For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart. ¹⁸But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I am Creator, For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy. ¹⁹And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying. ²⁰There is not thence any more a suckling of days, And an aged man who doth not complete his days, For the youth a hundred years old dieth, And the sinner, a hundred years old, is lightly esteemed. ²¹And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit. ²²They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree are the days of My people, And the work of their hands wear out do My chosen ones. ²³They labour not for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For the seed of the blessed of Jehovah are they, And their offspring with them.
