20 There will no longer be an infant who lives for only a few days
    or an old man who doesn’t live a long life.
    Whoever lives to be a hundred years old will be thought of as young.
    Whoever dies before he is a hundred years old will be cursed as a sinner.
21 They will build houses and live there.
    They will plant vineyards and eat fruit from them.
22 They will not build homes and have others live there.
    They will not plant and have others eat from it.
        My people will live as long as trees,
            and my chosen ones will enjoy what they’ve done.

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.
