Isaiah 65:17-25 (English Standard Version)

New Heavens and a New Earth

 ¹⁷"For behold,^(A) I create new heavens
   and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
   or come into mind.
¹⁸But be glad and rejoice forever
   in that which I create;
for behold,^(B) I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
   and her people to be a gladness.
^19(C) I will rejoice in Jerusalem
   and be glad in my people;
^(D) no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping
   and the cry of distress.
²⁰No 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^(E) the young man shall die a hundred years old,
   and^(F) the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.
^21(G) They shall build houses and inhabit them;
   they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
^22(H) They shall not build and another inhabit;
   they shall not plant and another eat;
^(I) for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
   and my chosen shall long enjoy^[a] the work of their hands.
^23(J) They shall not labor in vain
   ^(K) or bear children for calamity,^[b]
for^(L) they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD,
   and their descendants with them.
^24(M) Before they call I will answer;
   ^(N) while they are yet speaking I will hear.
^25(O) The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
   the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
   and^(P) dust shall be the serpent’s food.
^(Q) They shall not hurt or destroy
   in all my holy mountain,"

         says the LORD.
