New Living Translation
20 “No longer will babies die when only a few days old.
No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.
No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!
Only the cursed will die that young!
21 In those days people will live in the houses they build
and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.
22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses
and confiscate their vineyards.
For my people will live as long as trees,
and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.
23 They will not work in vain,
and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.
For they are people blessed by the Lord,
and their children, too, will be blessed.
24 I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

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.
23 They will not labor in vain,(I)
nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;(J)
for they will be a people blessed(K) by the Lord,
they and their descendants(L) with them.
24 Before they call(M) I will answer;(N)
while they are still speaking(O) I will hear.
