No more building a house

that some outsider takes over,

No more planting fields

that some enemy confiscates,

For my people will be as long-lived as trees,

my chosen ones will have satisfaction in their work.

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

or plant and others eat.

For as the days of a tree,

my chosen ones will long enjoy

the work of their hands.

For my people will live as long as trees,

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