Isaiah 65:23 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

They shall not ... bring forth for trouble - literally, for terror ( labehaalaah (H928)); i:e., 'They shall not bring forth children for a sudden death' (Leviticus 26:16; Jeremiah 15:8).

For they (are) the seed of the blessed of the Lord - (Isaiah 61:9.)

And their offspring with them - (Hosea 9:12 .) 'Their offspring shall be with themselves' (Maurer); not 'brought forth' only to be cut off by 'sudden death' (see the parallel clause).

Isaiah 65:23
