shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child
shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner
being
an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21
And
they shall build houses, and inhabit
them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of
a tree
are
the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23
They
shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they
are
the seed of the blessed of the L
ORD
,
and their offspring with them.
24
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and
while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion
shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust
shall be
the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain, saith the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 66
Thus saith the L
ORD
, The heaven
is
my throne, and the earth
is
my footstool: where
is
the house
that ye build unto me? and where
is
the place of my rest?
2
For all those
things
hath mine hand
made, and all those
things
have been, saith the L
ORD
: but to this
man
will I look,
even
to
him that
is
poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3
He that killeth an ox
is as if
he slew a
man; he that sacrificeth a lamb,
as if
he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation,
as if he
offered
swine’s blood; he that burneth incense,
as if
he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their
own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4
I also will choose their delusions, and
will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did
not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose
that
in which I delighted not.
5
Hear the word of the L
ORD
, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast
you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the L
ORD
be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and
they shall be ashamed.
6
A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the
L
ORD
that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
7
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before
her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen
such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
or
shall a nation be born at once?
for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9
Shall I bring to the birth, and not
cause to bring forth? saith the L
ORD
: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut
the womb?
saith thy God.
10
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all
ye that mourn for her:
11
That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations;
that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12
For thus saith the L
ORD
,
Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream:
then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon
her
sides, and be dandled upon
her
knees.
13
As one
whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14
