18 So be glad and full of joy forever
    because of what I will create.
I will cause others to take delight in Jerusalem.
    They will be filled with joy
    when they see its people.
19 And I will be full of joy because of Jerusalem.
    I will take delight in my people.
Weeping and crying
    will not be heard there anymore.

20 “Babies in Jerusalem will no longer
    live only a few days.

Those who die before they are 100
    will be considered as having been under God’s curse.
