Isaiah 65:22

Isaiah 65:22 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

22No longer will they build houses and others live in them,

or plant and others eat.

For as the days of a tree,

so will be the days of my people;

my chosen ones will long enjoy

the work of their hands.

22“They will not build and another inhabit,

They will not plant and another eat;

For as the 65:22 Lit dayslifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,

And My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.

22They will not build and another inhabit,

They will not plant and another eat;

For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,

And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.

22“They will not build and another occupy;

They will not plant and another eat [the fruit].

For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,

And My chosen [people] will fully enjoy [and long make use of] the work of their hands.

22No 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.

22They will no longer build houses

only to have others live in them.

They will no longer plant crops

only to have others eat them.

My people will live to be as old as trees.

My chosen ones will enjoy for a long time

the things they have worked for.
