Isaiah

Isaiah 65:21–22

²¹They will build houses and dwell in them;

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

²²No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit,

nor plant for others to eat.

For as is the lifetime of a tree,

so will be the days of My people,

and My chosen ones will fully enjoy

the work of their hands.
