Isaiah 65:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more there a child of years, nor an old man that hath [a]not filled his days: for he that shall be an hundred years old, shall die as a young man: but the sinner being [b]an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall [c]build houses, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
