Isaiah 65:23

New Creation

²² They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands. ²³ Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them. ²⁴ And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.
