18 But be glad and rejoice forever
    in that which I create;
for I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
    and her people for joy.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem
    and be glad in My people;
and the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
    nor the voice of crying.

20 There shall no longer be
    an infant who lives only a few days
    nor an old man who has not filled out his days.
For the child shall die
    a hundred years old,
but the sinner being a hundred years old
    shall be accursed.

18 But be glad and rejoice(A) forever
    in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem(B) to be a delight
    and its people a joy.
19 I will rejoice(C) over Jerusalem
    and take delight(D) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(E)
    will be heard in it no more.

20 “Never again will there be in it
    an infant(F) who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not live out his years;(G)
the one who dies at a hundred
    will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
    will be considered accursed.
