“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes^(A)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;^(B)
    I will not destroy them all.

⁹ I will bring forth descendants^(A) from Jacob,
    and from Judah those who will possess^(B) my mountains;
my chosen^(C) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.^(D)

²¹ They will build houses^(A) and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.^(B)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,^(C)
    or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,^(D)
    so will be the days^(E) of my people;
my chosen^(F) ones will long enjoy
    the work of their hands.
²³ They will not labor in vain,^(G)
    nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;^(H)
for they will be a people blessed^(I) by the Lord,
    they and their descendants^(J) with them.
²⁴ Before they call^(K) I will answer;^(L)
    while they are still speaking^(M) I will hear.
²⁵ The wolf and the lamb^(N) will feed together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox,^(O)
    and dust will be the serpent’s^(P) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
    on all my holy mountain,”^(Q)
says the Lord.
