17. For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
18. But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I [am] Creator, For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19. And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying.
20. There is not thence any more a suckling of days, And an aged man who doth not complete his days, For the youth a hundred years old dieth, And the sinner, a hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
21. And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
22. They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And the work of their hands wear out do My chosen ones.
23. They labour not for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For the seed of the blessed of Jehovah [are] they, And their offspring with them.
24. And it hath come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
25. Wolf and lamb do feed as one, And a lion as an ox eateth straw, As to the serpent-- dust [is] its food, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain, said Jehovah!
