16 People in the land who ask for blessingswill ask for them from the faithful God.And people in the land who make a promisewill promise in the name of the faithful God,because the troubles of the past will be forgotten.I will make those troubles go away.
17 “Look, I will make new heavens and a new earth,and people will not remember the pastor think about those things.
18 My people will be happy foreverbecause of the things I will make.I will make a Jerusalem that is full of joy,and I will make her people a delight.
19 Then I will rejoice over Jerusalemand be delighted with my people.There will never again be heard in that citythe sounds of crying and sadness.
20 There will never be a baby from that citywho lives only a few days.And there will never be an older personwho doesn’t have a long life.A person who lives a hundred years will be called young,and a person who dies before he is a hundred will be thought of as a sinner.
21 In that city those who build houses will live there.Those who plant vineyards will get to eat their grapes.
22 No more will one person build a house and someone else live there.One person will not plant a garden and someone else eat its fruit.My people will live a long time,as trees live long.My chosen people will live thereand enjoy the things they make.
