Isaías 65:22

22 A diferencia del pasado, los invasores no les quitarán sus casas
ni les confiscarán sus viñedos.
Pues mi pueblo vivirá tantos años como los árboles,
y mis escogidos tendrán tiempo para disfrutar de lo adquirido con su arduo trabajo.

Isaías 65:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:22

They shall not build, and another inhabit
As the Canaanites did, whose houses the Israelites inhabited; but they shall inhabit the houses they have built, and shall not be dispossessed by an enemy: they shall not plant, and another eat;
the fruit of the vines, olives, fig trees, or others, planted by them: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people;
not as of a leaf which falls every year, but as of a tree, and as of such that last long, as oaks, cedars, and the like; though perhaps a tree bearing fruit fit to eat is meant; and the sense be, that the Lord's people should live as long as the trees planted by them, and so should eat the fruit thereof, and not leave them to others to partake of. The Targum, Septuagint, and Arabic versions, render it,

``as the days of the tree of life;''

which, some of the Rabbins say, were five hundred years. The allusion may be to the tree of life in paradise, and may be expressive of the long life of good men in this state; and as the tree of life was typical of Christ, who is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon him, it may denote that eternal life his people have by him. And mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands;
what they have built and planted; they shall live long in their houses, and for many years partake of the fruit of their vineyards. The blessing of long life is carried on with the promises of all other instances of outward happiness.

Isaías 65:22 In-Context

20 »Los bebés ya no morirán a los pocos días de haber nacido,
ni los adultos morirán antes de haber tenido una vida plena.
Nunca más se considerará anciano a alguien que tenga cien años;
solamente los malditos morirán tan jóvenes.

21 En esos días, la gente habitará en las casas que construya
y comerá del fruto de sus propios viñedos.

22 A diferencia del pasado, los invasores no les quitarán sus casas
ni les confiscarán sus viñedos.
Pues mi pueblo vivirá tantos años como los árboles,
y mis escogidos tendrán tiempo para disfrutar de lo adquirido con su arduo trabajo.

23 No trabajarán en vano,
y sus hijos no estarán condenados a la desgracia,
porque son un pueblo bendecido por el Señor
,
y sus hijos también serán bendecidos.

24 Les responderé antes que me llamen.
Cuando aún estén hablando de lo que necesiten,
¡me adelantaré y responderé a sus oraciones!
