17 For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice for ever in what I am creating;
for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a
delight.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people;
no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of
distress.
20 No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days,
or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at
a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of
a hundred will be considered accursed.
21 They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant
vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and
another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be
and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, or bear children for calamity;
for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord and their descendants
as well.
24 Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will
hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw
like the ox; but the serpent its food shall be dust! They shall not hurt
or destroy on all my holy mountain,

‘Behold, God is my salvation:
I will trust and will not be afraid;
‘For the Lord God is my strength and my song:
and has become my salvation.’
With joy you will draw water:
from the wells of salvation.
On that day you will say:
‘Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name;
‘Make known his deeds among the nations:
proclaim that his name is exalted.
‘Sing God’s praises, who has triumphed gloriously:
let this be known in all the world.
‘Shout and sing for joy, you that dwell in Zion:
for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.’

6 Now we command you, beloved, in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, to keep away from believers who are living in idleness and not
according to the tradition that they received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not
idle when we were with you,
8 and we did not eat anyones bread without paying for it; but with
toil and labour we worked night and day, so that we might not
burden any of you.
9 This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to
give you an example to imitate.
10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command:
Anyone unwilling to work should not eat.
11 For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere
busybodies, not doing any work.
12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus
Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
13 Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.

5 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned
with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said,
6 As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one
stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.
7 They asked him, Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the
sign that this is about to take place?
8 And he said, Beware that you are not led astray; for many will
come in my name and say, I am he! and, The time is near! Do not go
after them.
9 When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for
these things must take place first, but the end will not follow
immediately.
10 Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom;
11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and
plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from
heaven.
12 But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you;
they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be
brought before kings and governors because of my name.
13 This will give you an opportunity to testify.
14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defence in advance;
15 for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your
opponents will be able to withstand or contradict.
16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives
and friends; and they will put some of you to death.
17 You will be hated by all because of my name.
18 But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 By your endurance you will gain your souls.
