21  ^rThey shall build houses and inhabit them;

they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22  They shall not ^sbuild 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 enjoy¹ the work of their hands.

23  They shall not labor in vain

or bear children for calamity,²

for they shall be the ^toffspring of the blessed of the Lord,

and their descendants with them.

24  ^uBefore they call I will answer;

^vwhile they are yet speaking I will hear.

25  ^wThe wolf and the lamb shall graze together;

the lion shall eat straw like the ox,

and ^xdust shall be the serpent’s food.

They shall not hurt or destroy

in all ^ymy holy mountain,”

says the Lord.
