“They shall build houses.
They shall inhabit them.
They shall plant vineyards.
They shall eat their fruit.
They shall not build
With another inhabit it.
They shall not plant
With another eat it.
Like the days of a tree
Shall the days of my people be.
My chosen ones shall long enjoy
The work of their hands.
They shall not labor in vain.
They shall not bear children for calamity.
They shall be offspring
Blessed by Yahweh.
Their descendants shall be blessed
With them.”
Everyone will be happy in this new Jerusalem. When they build a house, they will live there, since no one else will live there. If they plant vineyards, they will enjoy their fruit, since no one else will enjoy their crop. Their lives will be long like the days of a large tree. They will benefit from their own work. They will not labor in vain. Their children will not have misfortunes because they and their children will be blessed by Yahweh.
