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 Jerusalem.I will be delighted with my people.There will never again becrying and sadness in that city.
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 100 years will be called young.And the person who dies before he is 100 will be thought of as a sinner.
21. In that city the person who builds a house will live there.The person who plants vineyards will get to eat 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 timeas trees live long.My chosen people will live thereand enjoy the things they make.
