Isaiah 65:23

²¹ They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

²² No 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.

They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.

²⁴ Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
