We grope like those who have no eyes.

We stumble at midday as in the twilight;

Among those who are healthy we are like the dead H4191.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:15 -

“You will leave your name as a curse to My chosen ones,

And the Lord [fn]GOD will put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191.

But [fn]My servants will be called by another name.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:20 -

“No longer will there be [fn]in it an infant who lives only a few days,

Or an old person who does not [fn]live out his days;

For the youth will die H4191 at the age of a hundred,

And the [fn]one who does not reach the age of a hundred

Will be thought accursed.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:24 -

“Then they will go out and look

At the corpses of the people

Who have rebelled against Me.

For their worm will not die H4191

And their fire will not be extinguished;

And they will be an abhorrence to all [fn]mankind.”
