21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

    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.

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.
24 Before they call(K) I will answer;(L)
    while they are still speaking(M) I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb(N) will feed together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox,(O)
    and dust will be the serpent’s(P) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
    on all my holy mountain,”(Q)
says the Lord.
