21 And they shall build houses and inhabit them,
    and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
    they shall not plant and another eat.
For the days of my people shall be like the days of a tree,
    and my chosen ones shall enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labor for nothing,
    and they shall not give birth to horror,
for they shall be offspring blessed by[a] Yahweh,
    and their descendants with them.
