Contextual Overview

17 "I am creating a new heaven and a new earth. The troubles of the past will be forgotten. No one will remember them. 18 My people will be happy and rejoice forever and ever because of what I will make. I will make a Jerusalem that is full of joy, and I will make her people happy. 19 "Then I will rejoice with Jerusalem. I will be happy with my people. There will never again be crying and sadness in that city. 20 In that city there will never be a baby who lives only a few days, and every older person will live for a long, long time. A person who lives 100 years will be called young. And whoever doesn't live that long will be considered cursed. 21 "In that city whoever builds a house will live there; whoever plants a vineyard will eat the grapes from that garden. 22 Never again will one person build a house and another person live there. Never again will one person plant a garden and another eat the fruit from it. My people will live as long as the trees. My chosen people will get full use of whatever they make. 23 Never again will a woman suffer childbirth and have her baby die. Women will not fear childbirth. I, the Lord , will bless all my people and their children. 24 I will answer them before they call for help. I will help them before they finish asking. 25 Wolves and little lambs will eat together. Lions will eat hay like cattle, and snakes will eat only dust. They will not hurt or destroy each other on my holy mountain." This is what the Lord said.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall build houses, and inhabit them,.... In Jerusalem, and other parts of Judea: though this need not be limited to the Jews, but be considered as reaching to all the Lord's people, the Gentiles also; who will be in no fear of enemies, or ever be disturbed by them, but shall dwell in their own houses peaceably and quietly; this is the reverse of what is threatened to the wicked, Deuteronomy 28:30:

and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them; they shall both live to dwell in their houses when built, and till their vineyards bring forth fruit, and then eat of them; and they shall be preserved from enemies breaking in upon them, and wasting their plantations.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And they shall build houses - (See the notes at Isaiah 62:8-9).
