19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad about my people.
    No one will ever hear the sound of weeping or crying in it again.
20 No more will babies live only a few days,
    or the old fail to live out their days.
The one who dies at a hundred will be like a young person,
    and the one falling short of a hundred will seem cursed.
21 They will build houses and live in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

19 I will rejoice(A) over Jerusalem
    and take delight(B) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(C)

20 “Never again will there be in it
    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)
