⁵ I will give, in my house and within my walls,
    a monument and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
    that shall not be cut off.^(A)

¹⁷ For I am about to create new heavens
    and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered
    or come to mind.^(A)

²² 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.^(A)

²³ They shall not labor in vain
    or bear children for calamity,^[a]
for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—
    and their descendants as well.^(A)
