21My people will build houses and then live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
22As for the houses that they build, no one will take those houses away from them and live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted.
23They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some ◄calamity/terrible thing happening to them►. I will certainly bless their children and their grandchildren.
24Before they call to me to help them, I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying for me to do something for them.
