Isaiah 65:21-23
Christian Standard Bible
21 People will build houses and live in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(A)
22 They will not build and others live in them;
they will not plant and others eat.
For my people’s lives will be
like the lifetime of a tree.(B)
My chosen ones will fully enjoy
the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor without success(C)
or bear children destined for disaster,
for they will be a people blessed by the Lord
along with their descendants.(D)

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.
