Isaiah 65:22 Context
20There shalbe no more thence an infant of dayes, nor an olde man, that hath not filled his dayes: for the childe shall die an hundreth yeeres olde: but the sinner being an hundreth yeres old, shalbe accursed. 21And they shall builde houses, and inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eate the fruit of them. 22They shal not build, and another inhabit: they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the daies of a tree, are the dayes of my people, and mine elect shal long enioy the worke of their hands. 23They shall not labour in vaine, nor bring forth for trouble: for they are the seede of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. 24And it shal come to passe, that before they call, I will answere, & whiles they are yet speaking, I will heare.
