“They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Isaiah 65 contains 25 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
