Isaiah 65:22 in Context — Isaiah 65

20 No habrá más allí niño de días, ni viejo que sus días no cumpla: porque el niño morirá de cien años, y el pecador de cien años, será maldito.

21 Y edificarán casas, y morarán en ellas; plantarán viñas, y comerán el fruto de ellas.

22 No edificarán, y otro morará; no plantarán, y otro comerá: porque según los días de los árboles serán los días de mi pueblo, y mis escogidos perpetuarán las obras de sus manos.

23 No trabajarán en vano, ni parirán para maldición; porque son simiente de los benditos de Jehová, y sus descendientes con ellos.

24 Y será que antes que clamen, responderé yo; aun estando ellos hablando, yo habré oído.
