13 Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants will eat, and you? will go hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, and you? will go thirsty. Behold, My servants will be glad, and you? will be put to shame. 14 Behold, My servants will sing out from goodness of heart, and you? will cry out from pain of heart, and from a breaking of spirit you? will wail. 15 And you? will leave behind your? name as a curse for My chosen ones—and the Lord YHWH will slay you!—And to His servants He will call out another name, 16 that one blessing himself in the land will bless himself by the God of truth, and the one swearing in the land will swear by the God of truth; for the former troubles will be forgotten, for they will be hidden from My eyes. 17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, and they will not come up upon the heart. 18 But rather be glad and rejoice forever and ever in that which I am creating! For behold, I am creating Jerusalem as rejoicing and her people as joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people; and will not be heard in her any longer the voice of weeping and the voice of crying out. 20 There will not be from there anymore an infant of days, or an elder who does not fulfill his days. For the youth will die a son of a hundred years, a son, and the one falling short of a hundred years old will be accursed. 21 And they build houses and dwell, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 And they will not build, and another dwell there; they will not plant, and another eat; for like the days of a tree are the days of My people, and the work of their hands my chosen ones will wear out. 23 They will not toil in vain, and they will not bring forth for disaster; for they are a seed blessed of YHWH—they and their offspring with them. 24 And it will come to pass that before they call, then I will answer; and while they are still speaking, then I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will pasture as one, and the lion like the ox will eat straw—and the serpent, dust is its food! They will not cause harm and they will not destroy in all My holy” mountain, says YHWH. Isaiah 65:13-25, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
