The LORD (יהוה) creates new heavens and new earth where former things are forgotten, with lasting peace and joy.
Isaiah 65:17-25 NIV . . .See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. (18) But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. (19) I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. (20) Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. (21) They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. (22) No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. (23) They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD (יהוה), they and their descendants with them. (24) Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. (25) The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD (יהוה).
Isaiah 65:17-25 WEB . . .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 crying will 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 as the days of a tree will be the days of my people, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands. (23) They will not labor in vain, nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’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 Yahweh.
Isaiah 65:17-25 ESV . . .For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. (18) But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people to be a gladness. (19) I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. (20) No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. (21) They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. (22) They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. (23) They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD (יהוה), and their descendants with them. (24) Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. (25) The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain," says the LORD (יהוה).
Isaiah 65:17-25 GNB . . .The LORD (יהוה) says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten. (18) Be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy. (19) I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help. (20) Babies will no longer die in infancy, and all people will live out their life span. Those who live to be a hundred will be considered young. To die before that would be a sign that I had punished them. (21) People will build houses and live in them themselves—they will not be used by someone else. They will plant vineyards and enjoy the wine—it will not be drunk by others. Like trees, my people will live long lives. They will fully enjoy the things that they have worked for. (22) The work they do will be successful, and their children will not meet with disaster. I will bless them and their descendants for all time to come. (23) Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers. (24) Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil." (25) The LORD (יהוה) has spoken.
Isaiah 65:17-25 CEV . . .I am creating new heavens and a new earth; everything of the past will be forgotten. (18) Celebrate and be glad forever! I am creating a Jerusalem, full of happy people. (19) I will celebrate with Jerusalem and all of its people; there will be no more crying or sorrow in that city. (20) No child will die in infancy; everyone will live a long and full life. Anyone who fails to live a hundred years will be cursed. (21) My people will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and enjoy what they grow. (22) They won't build houses for someone else or plant vineyards for others. They will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will enjoy what they have worked for. (23) Their work won't be for nothing, and their children won't be born to face disaster. They will be a people blessed by the LORD (יהוה), and their descendants will be too. (24) Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers. (25) Wolves and lambs will graze together; lions and oxen will eat straw, and snakes will eat only dirt. They won't hurt or destroy anything on my holy mountain. I, the LORD (יהוה), have spoken!
