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.

        My people will live as long as trees,
            and my chosen ones will enjoy what they’ve done.

    They will never again give birth to children who die young,
        because they will be offspring blessed by Yahweh.
            The Lord will bless their descendants as well.

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.
