18     But rejoice and shout in exultation forever and ever over what I am about to create!
For look! I am about to create Jerusalem as a source of rejoicing,
    and her people as a source of joy.
19 And I will shout in exultation over Jerusalem,
    and I will rejoice over my people,
and the sound of weeping shall no longer be heard in it,
    or[a] the sound of a cry for help.
20 There will no longer be a nursing infant who lives only a few[b] days,
    or[c] an old man who does not fill his days,
for the boy will die a hundred years old,[d]
    and the one who fails to reach[e] a hundred years[f] will be considered[g] accursed.
