22 No more will one person build a house and someone else live there.
    One person will not plant a garden and someone else eat its fruit.
My people will live a long time
    as trees live long.
My chosen people will live there
    and enjoy the things they make.
23 People will never again work for nothing.
    They will never again give birth to children who die young.
All my people will be blessed by the Lord.
    My people and their children will be blessed.
24 I will provide for their needs before they ask.
    I will help them while they are still asking for help.

    while they are still speaking(K) I will hear.
