21 My people will build houses
    and they will live in them.
They will plant vineyards
    and they will eat the fruit from them.
22 They will no longer build houses
    and then other people live in them.
They will not plant trees
    and then other people to eat the fruit.
My people will have long lives,
    as long as trees live.
My own people will live to enjoy the things
    that they have worked hard to get.
23 Their work will not be useless.
They will not give birth to children
    who will live in fear.
Instead, the Lord will bless their children.
He will bless them
    and their descendants with them.

21 They will build houses(A) and dwell in them;
    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.
For as the days of a tree,(D)
    so will be the days(E) of my people;
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.
