Strongs On/Off
Context
65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore over what I am about to create ! For look , I am ready to create Jerusalem to be a source of joy , and her people to be a source of happiness .
65:19 Jerusalem will bring me joy , and my people will bring me happiness. The sound of weeping or cries of sorrow will never be heard in her again .
65:20 Never again will one of her infants live just a few days or an old man die before his time . Indeed , no one will die before the age of a hundred , anyone who fails to reach the age of a hundred will be considered cursed .
65:21 They will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit .
65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it , or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, for my people will live as long as trees , and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced .
65:23 They will not work in vain , or give birth to children that will experience disaster . For the Lord will bless their children and their descendants .
65:24 Before they even call out, I will respond ; while they are still speaking , I will hear .
65:25 A wolf and a lamb will graze together ; a lion , like an ox , will eat straw , and a snake’s food will be dirt . They will no longer injure or destroy on my entire royal mountain ,” says the Lord .
