They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
They will not work for nothing, and their children will not be born into hardship. They are the descendants of those blessed by the Lord, and their children will be blessed too.
God is promising that His people's work will be meaningful and their children will be blessed, not born into trouble.

The prophet describes a future era of restoration and renewal, often interpreted as pointing to a new creation or the messianic age, where God's faithful people would experience abundant blessings. This verse specifically reassures that the labor and offspring of the righteous will be protected and fruitful, contrasting with the troubles of the disobedient.
