Isaiah 65:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 There shall be no more there a child of years, nor an old man that hath [a]not filled his days: for he that shall be an hundred years old, shall die as a young man: but the sinner being [b]an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall [c]build houses, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit: they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of the tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall enjoy in old age the work of their hands.
