51:13 Why do you forget 1 the Lord, who made you,
who stretched out the sky 2
and founded the earth?
Why do you constantly tremble all day long 3
at the anger of the oppressor,
when he makes plans to destroy?
Where is the anger of the oppressor? 4
65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, 5
or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, 6
for my people will live as long as trees, 7
and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. 8
