Hunger and the Bible

Isaiah 65:17-25

For I am about to create new heavens
 and a new earth; 
the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind. 
But be glad and rejoice for ever
 in what I am creating; 
for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy,
 and its people as a delight.


I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
 and delight in my people; 
no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it,
 or the cry of distress. 
No more shall there be in it
 an infant that lives but a few days,
 or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; 
for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,
 and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.


They shall build houses and inhabit them;
 they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 
They shall not build and another inhabit;
 they shall not plant and another eat; 
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
 and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 


They shall not labor in vain,
 or bear children for calamity; 
for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—
 and their descendants as well. 
Before they call I will answer,
 while they are yet speaking I will hear. 


The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
 the lion shall eat straw like the ox;
 but the serpent—its food shall be dust! 
They shall not hurt or destroy
 on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
