20 No more will there be in it a child who lives only a few days, or an old man who does not live many years. For the child will live to be a hundred years old. And the one who does not live a hundred years will be thought to be cursed. 21 They will build houses and live in them. They will plant grapes and eat their fruit. 22 They will not build a house and another live in it. They will not plant and another eat. For My people will live a long time, like the days of a tree. And for a long time My chosen ones will enjoy the work of their hands.

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.
