Isaiah 65:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² They shall not build and another inhabit;
    they shall not plant and another eat;
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
    and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
²³ They shall not labor in vain,
    or bear children for calamity;^[a]
for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
    and their children with them.
²⁴ Before they call I will answer,
    while they are yet speaking I will hear.
