^{17 Ref} For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.

^{18 Ref} But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.

^{19 Ref} And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.

^{20 Ref} No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.

^{17 Ref} For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

^{18 Ref} But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

^{19 Ref} And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

^{20 Ref} There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.

^{17 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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.
