65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. 1
The sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, 2
or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, 3
for my people will live as long as trees, 4
and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. 5
