Isaiah 65:17-25

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ “For behold, I am creating a ^(A)new heavens and a new earth;
And the ^(B)former things will not be remembered or come upon the heart.
¹⁸ But be ^(C)joyful and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for joy.
¹⁹ I will also ^(D)rejoice in Jerusalem and be joyful in My people;
And there will no longer be heard in her
The voice of ^(E)weeping and the voice of crying.
²⁰ No longer will there be ^[a]in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does ^(F)not fulfill his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred,
And the ^[b](G)one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.
²¹ They will ^(H)build houses and inhabit them;
They will also ^(I)plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
²² They will not build and ^(J)another inhabit;
They will not plant and another eat;
For ^(K)as the ^[c]lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will ^(L)wear out the work of their hands.
²³ They will ^(M)not labor in vain,
Or bear children for terror;
For they are the ^(N)seed of those blessed by Yahweh,
And their offspring with them.
