Isaiah 65:22

Isaiah 65:22

20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
^aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

21 ^aThey shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and ^aanother eat;
For ^bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And ^cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labor in vain,
^aNor bring forth children for trouble;
For ^bthey shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.

24 “It shall come to pass
That ^abefore they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will ^bhear.

25 The ^awolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
^bAnd dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.
