Holy Scripture

Isaiah 65:20

A church father on this verse
“Long age will be given generously to them with nobody who died an untimely death … for he who has reached one hundred years will be just as the one who has died prematurely as a youth. But the sinner will be prone to judgment for his whole life and crosses into the lot of the cursed.”
Theodore of Heraclea, 4th c. — FRAGMENTS ON ISAIAH

18But they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.

19And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.

— Isaiah 65:20 —

21and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.

22They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labors.
