Isaiah 65:17 - 65:25

« Isaiah 64 | Isaiah 65 | Isaiah 66 »

New Heavens and a New Earth

“For behold, I am creating a new heavens and a new earth;

And the former things will not be remembered or come upon the heart.

But be joyful and rejoice forever in what I create;

For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing

And her people for joy.

I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be joyful in My people;

And there will no longer be heard in her

The voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,

Or an old man who does not fulfill his days;

For the youth will die at the age of one hundred,

And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred

Will be thought accursed.

They will build houses and inhabit them;

They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

They will not build and another inhabit;

They will not plant and another eat;

For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,

And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.

They will not labor in vain,

Or bear children for terror;

For they are the seed of those blessed by Yahweh,

And their offspring with them.

24 And it will be that before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
