21 They will build houses and dwell in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,

or plant and others eat.

For as the days of a tree,

so will be the days of my people;

my chosen ones will long enjoy

the work of their hands.

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.

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox,

and dust will be the serpent’s food.

They will neither harm nor destroy

on all my holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; They shall not plant, and another eat: For as the days of a tree are the days of my people, And mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 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. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: And dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

21 In those days people will live in the houses they build

and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.

22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses

and confiscate their vineyards.

For my people will live as long as trees,

and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.

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!

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.

The lion will eat hay like a cow.

But the snakes will eat dust.

In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.

I, the Lord, have spoken!”

21 They 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 another eat;

For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,

And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labor in vain,

Nor bring forth children for trouble;

For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,

And their offspring with them.

24 “It shall come to pass

That before they call, I will answer;

And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,

The lion shall eat straw like the ox,

And dust shall be the serpent’s food.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”

Says the Lord.

21 In that city those who build houses will live there.

Those who plant vineyards will get to eat their grapes.

22 No more will one person build a house and someone else live there.

One person will not plant a garden and someone else eat its fruit.

My people will live a long time,

as trees live long.

My chosen people will live there

and enjoy the things they make.

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.

25 Wolves and lambs will eat together in peace.

Lions will eat hay like oxen,

and a snake on the ground will not hurt anyone.

They will not hurt or destroy each other

on all my holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 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. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof: 22 they shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 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. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.

21 They will build houses and live there. 

They will plant vineyards and eat fruit from them. 

22 They will not build homes and have others live there. 

They will not plant and have others eat from it. 

My people will live as long as trees, 

and my chosen ones will enjoy what they’ve done. 

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. 

25 Wolves and lambs will feed together, 

lions will eat straw like oxen, 

and dust will be food for snakes. 

“They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain,” 

says the Lord. 

21 People will build houses and live in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 They will not build and others live in them;

they will not plant and others eat.

For My people’s lives will be

like the lifetime of a tree.

My chosen ones will fully enjoy

the work of their hands.

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.

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox,

but the serpent’s food will be dust!

They will not do what is evil or destroy

on My entire holy mountain,”

says the Lord.

21 They 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed like one,

and the lion shall eat straw like the ox,

but dust shall be the serpent’s food.

They shall do no evil,

and they shall not destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.

21 My people will build houses and live in them.

They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 They will no longer build houses

only to have others live in them.

They will no longer plant crops

only to have others eat them.

My people will live to be as old as trees.

My chosen ones will enjoy for a long time

the things they have worked for.

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.

25 Wolves and lambs will eat together.

Lions will eat straw like oxen.

Serpents will not bite anyone.

They will eat nothing but dust.

None of those animals will harm or destroy

anything or anyone on my holy mountain of Zion,”

says the Lord.

21 “They will build houses and inhabit them;

They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 “They will not build and another inhabit,

They will not plant and another eat;

For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,

And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.

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.

25 “The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the Lord.
