Isaiah 65:24

24 Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Isaiah 65:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:24

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer
The sense is, should they be attacked by any enemy, or fear that they shall be disturbed by them, and so bethink themselves of making application to the Lord for help; while they are preparing for prayer, stirring up one another to it, and appointing a season for it, to meet together on that account; before they are able to put up one petition in a regular way, the Lord will appear for them, and give an answer of peace: and while they are yet speaking, I will hear;
while they are praying to him, he hears and answers, and grants their requests, and more, as he did Daniel. This shows the readiness of the Lord to help and assist his people in any time of trouble, or when they may fear an enemy; and is a great encouragement to attend the throne of grace constantly.

23 They will not toil in vain or raise children to be destroyed, for they are the seed blessed by ADONAI; and their offspring with them.
24 Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion eat straw like an ox (but the serpent - its food will be dust). They will not hurt or destroy anywhere on my holy mountain," says ADONAI.
