Isaiah 65:22

Next

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

They shall not build {H1129}, and another {H312} inhabit {H3427}; they shall not plant {H5193}, and another {H312} eat {H398}: for as the days {H3117} of a tree {H6086} are the days {H3117} of my people {H5971}, and mine elect {H972} shall long enjoy {H1086} the work {H4639} of their hands {H3027}.

They will not build and others live there, they will not plant and others eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will themselves enjoy the use of what they make.

No 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.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
