18 But be (A)joyful and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for joy.
19 I will also (B)rejoice in Jerusalem and be joyful in My people;
And there will no longer be heard in her
The voice of (C)weeping and the voice of crying.
20 No longer will there be [a]in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does (D)not fulfill his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred,
And the [b](E)one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.
