Verse 22
Isaiah 65:22
Free Bible Version
22
No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.

They will not build and another will inhabit; they will not plant and another will eat; for like the days of a tree are the days of my people, and the work of their hands will last long.
