Isaiah65:23

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble, for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their off-spring with them .

And not only a blessing to them, but also to their Off-springs, But, what is here promised which wicked men do not oft times enjoy, and Gods People oft times want? Ans. 1. Wicked men may have them for their good parents sake, and good men may sometimes want them for evil parents sake. 2. Bad men may have some of these things, but they cannot expect them: good men may at present want them, but they may expect them from the hand of God, if they be good for them. 3. Bad men may have them in wrath, the blessing of God gives them to good men and adds no sorrow therewith.
