23 They will not labor in vain,

nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;

for they will be a people blessed by the Lord,

they and their descendants with them.

24 Before they call I will answer;

while they are still speaking I will hear.

23 They shall not labor in vain

or bear children for calamity,

for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,

and their descendants with them.

24 Before they call I will answer;

while they are yet speaking I will hear.

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.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer;

And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

23 They will not work in vain,

and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.

For they are people blessed by the Lord,

and their children, too, will be blessed.

24 I will answer them before they even call to me.

While they are still talking about their needs,

I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

23 They will never again work for nothing.

They will never again give birth to children who die young.

All my people will be blessed by the Lord;

they and their children will be blessed.

24 I will provide for their needs before they ask,

and I will help them while they are still asking for help.

23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

23 They will never again work for nothing. 

They will never again give birth to children who die young, 

because they will be offspring blessed by the Lord. 

The Lord will bless their descendants as well. 

24 Before they call, I will answer. 

While they’re still speaking, I will hear. 

23 They will not labor without success

or bear children destined for disaster,

for they will be a people blessed by the Lord

along with their descendants.

24 Even before they call, I will answer;

while they are still speaking, I will hear.

23 They shall not labor in vain,

or bear children for calamity;

for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—

and their descendants as well.

24 Before they call I will answer,

while they are yet speaking I will hear.

23 They shall not labor for nothing,

and they shall not give birth to horror,

for they shall be offspring blessed by Yahweh,

and their descendants with them.

24 And this will happen: before they call, I myself will answer;

while still they are speaking, I myself will hear.

23 Their work will not be worthless anymore.

They will not have children who are sure to face sudden terror.

Instead, I will bless them.

I will also bless their children after them.

24 Even before they call out to me, I will answer them.

While they are still speaking, I will hear them.

23 “They will not labor in vain,

Or bear children for calamity;

For they are the offspring of those blessed by the Lord,

And their descendants with them.

24 “It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
