¹⁸ My people will be happy forever
    because 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
    and be delighted with my people.
There will never again be heard in that city
    the sounds of crying and sadness.
²⁰ There will never be a baby from that city
    who lives only a few days.
And there will never be an older person
    who 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.
