OLD TESTAMENT · VERSE 20

Isaiah 65:20

“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days,

nor an old man who has not filled his days;

and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Isaiah 65:20 in context

Isaiah 65:17–23

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

and the former things will not be remembered,

nor come into mind.

But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;

for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight,

and her people a joy.

I will rejoice in Jerusalem,

and delight in my people;

and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying

will be heard in her no more.

Selected verse

“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days,

nor an old man who has not filled his days;

for the child will die one hundred years old,

and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.

They will build houses and inhabit them.

They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

They will not build and another inhabit.

They will not plant and another eat;

for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,

and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.

They will not labor in vain

nor give birth for calamity;

for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed

and their descendants with them.
