Isa 65:17 "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
Isa 65:18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
Isa 65:19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying.
How do we reconcile death and sinners in the New heavens and New earth?

the context of the prophecy: The New Heavens and New earth
Isaiah 65:1 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
For a man, alive in the New heavens and New earth, will be considered young when he dies at 100 years. And a sinner, in the new heavens and new earth, who lives to 100 will be accursed.
Isaiah 65:20 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.

It appears the NH and NE are symbolizing OC 1st century Jerusalem before 70ad.
Now what would the "former things"?
Isaiah 65
17 For behold! I am creating new Heavens and a new Earth,
And the former things[earthly Temple] are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
18 But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I [am] Creator for behold!
I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying.
Revelation 21:4
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
One reason that made me think of 1st Jerusalem symbolizing the "Lake of Fire" is because Jesus uses the word "Gehenna".
Is the GREAT CITY in Revelation symbolizing the LAKE OF FIRE?
Luke 13:34
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
Matthew 23
33 "Serpents! produce of vipers! how? ye may be fleeing from the judging of the geennhV <1067>
[Ezekiel 39:12/Reve 14:11]
Revelation 14:11
And the Smoke of the tormenting of Them is ascending into Ages to-Ages.......... [Ezekiel 39:12/Luke 16:24,26]
Luke 18:7
“And shall God not avenge<1557> His own elect/chosen who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
[Revelation 6:10 Revelation 19:2]
Revelation 6:10
and they were crying-out with a great voice saying,
'how long! O Master/Owner, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge
and take vengeance/avenge<1556> of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?'
Revelation 19:2
because true and just/righteous<1342> are His judgments,
because He did judge the great harlot who did corrupt the land in Her whoredom,
and He did avenge<1556> the blood of His bond-servants at Her Hand;
