Bible in Basic English
"But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy."
— Isaiah 65:18, Bible in Basic English
And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:
So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.
For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.
But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.
And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.
No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.
And they will be building houses and living in them; planting vine-gardens and getting the fruit of them.
