Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
They shall not plant and aanother eat;
For bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
aNor bring forth children for trouble;
For bthey shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.
That abefore they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will bhear.
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
bAnd dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.
