    and take delight in my people;

    an infant who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not live out his years;
the one who dies at a hundred
    will be thought a mere child;

    will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
