The Promise of New Heavens and New Earth

17

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18

But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

19

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

“There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

21

They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

22

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23

They shall not labor in vain, nor give birth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

24

It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
