Yesaya 65:21-23

65:21 They will build houses and live in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, ¹ 

or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, ² 

for my people will live as long as trees, ³ 

and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. ⁴ 

65:23 They will not work in vain,

or give birth to children that will experience disaster. ⁵ 

For the Lord will bless their children

and their descendants. ⁶
