8  ^gHe will swallow up death forever;

and the Lord God will ^hwipe away tears from all faces,

and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,

for the Lord has spoken.

19  ^pI will rejoice in Jerusalem

and be glad in my people;

^qno more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping

and the cry of distress.

20  No more shall there be in it

an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not fill out his days,

for the young man shall die a hundred years old,

and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.
