Isaiah 65:17-25 ▼

17 For behold, 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 rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, || For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, || And her people a joy.

19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, || And have rejoiced in My people, || And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.

20 There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, || And an aged man who does not complete his days, || For the youth dies one hundred years old, || And the sinner, one 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 My chosen wear out the work of their hands.

23 They do not labor for a vain thing, || Nor do they bring forth for trouble, || For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, || And their offspring with them.

24 And it has come to pass, || They do not yet call, and I answer, || They are yet speaking, and I hear.

25 Wolf and lamb feed as one, || And a lion eats straw as an ox, || As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, || They do no evil, nor destroy, || In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
