Isaiah 65:8

Context

65:8 This is what the Lord says:

“When 1  juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,

someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ 2 

So I will do for the sake of my servants –

I will not destroy everyone. 3 

Isaiah 65:22

Context

65:22 No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it, 4 

or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit, 5 

for my people will live as long as trees, 6 

and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced. 7 

1 tn Heb “just as.” In the Hebrew text the statement is one long sentence, “Just as…, so I will do….”

2 tn Heb “for a blessing is in it.”

3 tn Heb “by not destroying everyone.”

4 tn Heb “they will not build, and another live [in it].”

5 tn Heb “they will not plant, and another eat.”

6 tn Heb “for like the days of the tree [will be] the days of my people.”

7 tn Heb “the work of their hands” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “their hard-won gains.”
