20 “No longer will there be [a]in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does (A)not [b]live out his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred
And the [c](B)one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.
21 “They will (C)build houses and inhabit them;
They will also (D)plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 “They will not build and (E)another inhabit,
They will not plant and another eat;
For (F)as the [d]lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will (G)wear out the work of their hands.
