13. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD,“Behold, my servants will eat,but you will be hungry;behold, my servants will drink,but you will be thirsty.Behold, my servants will rejoice,but you will be disappointed;
14. Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,but you will cry for sorrow of heart,and will wail for anguish of spirit.
15. You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen;and the Lord GOD will kill you.He will call his servants by another name,
16. so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth;and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth;because the former troubles are forgotten,and because they are hidden from my eyes.
17. “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;and the former things will not be remembered,nor come into mind.
18. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight,and her people a joy.
19. I will rejoice in Jerusalem,and delight in my people;and the voice of weeping and the voice of cryingwill be heard in her no more.
20. “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days,nor an old man who has not filled his days;for the child will die one hundred years old,and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21. They will build houses, and inhabit them.They will plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
22. They will not build, and another inhabit.They will not plant, and another eat:for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
23. They will not labour in vain,nor give birth for calamity;for they are the offspring of the Lord’s blessed,and their descendants with them.
24. It will happen that, before they call, I will answer;and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25. The wolf and the lamb will feed together,and the lion will eat straw like the ox.Dust will be the serpent’s food.They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,”says the Lord.
