An Expansion of the Theme of Isaiah 65:13-20. They may build houses and plant vineyards, certain that they will live to enjoy them. Their lives shall be as the life of a tree, long, and undisturbed by calamity. They shall not bring up (so read for forth) children only to see them perish: their children and they alike are a race blessed by Yahweh. Their prayers shall be answered even while they are being uttered. Even the beasts shall lose their redness of tooth and claw (cf. Isaiah 11:6-9).
Isaiah 65:25. and dust... meat: a glossator, mindful of Genesis 3:14, has excepted the serpent from the general felicity.
