19 (A) I will celebrate with Jerusalem
    and all its people;
there will be no more crying
    or sorrow in that city.

20 No child will die in infancy;
everyone will live
    a very long life.
Anyone a hundred years old
    will be considered young,
and to die younger than that
    will be considered a curse.

21 My people will live
    in the houses they build;
they will enjoy grapes
    from their own vineyards.

19 I will rejoice(A) over Jerusalem
    and take delight(B) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(C)
    will be heard in it no more.

    an infant(D) who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not live out his years;(E)
the one who dies at a hundred
    will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
    will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(F) and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(G)
