A Curse Reversed
Multiple commentators explain that this verse is a direct reversal of the curses for disobedience found in the Law (e.g., Deuteronomy 28:30). Under the curse, people would build houses for others to inhabit. In the new creation, God's people will finally enjoy the fruit of their own labor in complete peace and security.
