Isaiah 65:21-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(A)
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
they shall not plant and another eat,
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.(B)
23 They shall not labor in vain
or bear children for calamity,[a]
for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—
and their descendants as well.(C)
24 Before they call I will answer,
while they are yet speaking I will hear.(D)
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together;
the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
but the serpent—its food shall be dust!
They shall not hurt or destroy
on all my holy mountain,
says the Lord.(E)
