Isaiah 65:20-22
International Standard Version
Isaiah 65:20-22
International Standard Version
20 “And[a] there will no longer be in it
a young boy[b] who lives only a few days,
or an old person who does not live out his days;
for one who dies at a hundred years will be thought a mere youth,
and one who falls short of a hundred years will be considered accursed.
21 People[c] will build houses and live in them;
They’ll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They won’t build for others to inhabit;
they won’t plant for others to eat—
for like the lifetime[d] of a tree,[e] so will the lifetime[f] of my people be,
and my chosen ones will long enjoy[g] the work of their hands.
