21 They will (A)build houses and inhabit them;
They will also (B)plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They will not build and (C)another inhabit;
They will not plant and another eat;
For (D)as the [a]lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will (E)wear out the work of their hands.
23 They will (F)not labor in vain,
Or bear children for terror;
For they are the (G)seed of those blessed by Yahweh,
And their offspring with them.

  1. Isaiah 65:22 Lit days

21 They will build houses(A) and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(B)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(C)
    or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(D)
    so will be the days(E) of my people;
my chosen(F) ones will long enjoy
    the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor in vain,(G)
    nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;(H)
for they will be a people blessed(I) by the Lord,
    they and their descendants(J) with them.
