Isaiah 65:22 in Context — Isaiah 65

20 Il n’y aura plus ni enfants ni vieillards Qui n’accomplissent leurs jours; Car celui qui mourra à cent ans sera jeune, Et le pécheur âgé de cent ans sera maudit.

21 Ils bâtiront des maisons et les habiteront; Ils planteront des vignes et en mangeront le fruit.

22 Ils ne bâtiront pas des maisons pour qu’un autre les habite, Ils ne planteront pas des vignes pour qu’un autre en mange le fruit; Car les jours de mon peuple seront comme les jours des arbres, Et mes élus jouiront de l’œuvre de leurs mains.

23 Ils ne travailleront pas en vain, Et ils n’auront pas des enfants pour les voir périr; Car ils formeront une race bénie de l’Éternel, Et leurs enfants seront avec eux.

24 Avant qu’ils m’invoquent, je répondrai; Avant qu’ils aient cessé de parler, j’exaucerai.
