Context65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.
My chosen ones will take possession of the land; 1
my servants will live there.

Context65:23 They will not work in vain,
or give birth to children that will experience disaster. 2
For the Lord will bless their children
and their descendants. 3

[65:23] 2 tn Heb “and they will not give birth to horror.”
[65:23] 3 tn Heb “for offspring blessed by the Lord they [will be], and their descendants along with them.”
