20 A young child of days shall no more be there, and an eld man, that filleth not his days; for why a child of an hundred years shall die, and a sinner of an hundred years shall be cursed. (And there shall not be a young child there, who liveth only for a few days, nor an old man who filleth not all of his days, for why should any child die before a hundred years of age; but a sinner shall die there before living a hundred years, for he shall be cursed.)

21 And they shall build houses, and shall inhabit them, and they shall plant vines, and shall eat the fruits of those.

22 They shall not build houses, and another shall inhabit, they shall not plant, and another shall eat; for why the days of my people shall be after the days of the tree, and the works of their hands shall be eld to my chosen men. (They shall not build houses, which another shall inhabit, and they shall not plant, what another shall eat; for the days of my people shall be like the many days of a tree, and the works of their hands shall be long lasting for my chosen ones.)

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.
