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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
