Builders enjoy the work of their hands

20No more shall there be from there an infant of days, or an old man who does not fill out his days; for the youth will die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old will be accursed.

21They will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22They will not build and another inhabit; they will not plant and another eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.

23They will not labor for emptiness, nor bear children for calamity, for they are the offspring of those blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.

24And it will happen that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
