Context — A New Heaven and a New Earth
17For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
18But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.
19I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.
20No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. 21They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.Cross References

We can also reflect God's delight and pleasure in the people around us, and show them the love and joy of God, just like Jesus did in John 15:11.]
