Isaiah 65:20-22
International Children’s Bible
20 There will never be a baby from that city
who lives only a few days.
And there will never be an older person
who doesn’t have a long life.
A person who lives 100 years will be called young.
And the person who dies before he is 100 will be thought of as a sinner.
21 In that city the person who builds a house will live there.
The person who plants vineyards will get to eat grapes.
22 No more will one person build a house and someone else live there.
One person will not plant a garden and someone else eat its fruit.
My people will live a long time
as trees live long.
My chosen people will live there
and enjoy the things they make.
Isaiah 65:20-22
New International Version
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant(A) who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;(B)
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(C) and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(D)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(E)
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(F)
so will be the days(G) of my people;
my chosen(H) ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
