John Trapp on Isaiah 65:24-25

Ver. 24. And it ſhall come to paſs, that before they call I will anſwer] Mirabilis certè promiſſio, a wonderful promiſe verily, ſaith Scultetus. The prayers of the Saints do ſooner peirce from their hearts to heaven, then they can find way from their hearts to their mouths. So David found it, Pſal. 32.5. and Daniel, chap. 10.12. and that Prodigal, Luke. 15.18, 20. Our Saviour, who came out of the boſom of the Father, gives two reaſons: 1. The Father himſef loveth you, Joh. 16.27. and love is liberal. 2. The Father knoweth before ye ask, that ye have need of all theſe things, Mat. 6.32.

And while they are yet ſpeaking, I will hear] Thus he heard thoſe praying Iſraelites at the meet at Mizpeh, 1 Sam. 7. David, Pſal. 6.8, 9. Daniel, chap 9.21. Cornelius, Acts 10.3. and his company, ver. 44. Luther when he came leaping out out of his ſtudy (where he had been praying) with Vicimus, Vicimus, in his mouth; the day is ours, we ſhall carry the cauſe.

Antipathiam in ympathiam convertent. Lap. Ver. 25. The wolf and the Lamb ſhall feed together] Heb. as one: See chap. 11.6. There ſhall be an holy harmony of hearts, and all good agreement among Chriſts Subjects; when they come to heaven eſpecially.

And duſt ſhall be the ſerpents meat] He ſhall be held in to his firſt condemnation, Gen. 3.14. The Devil alſo that old ſerpent, ſhall be limited to the heel of the Saints; the head he ſhall not touch: he ſhall be tyed up to his own meat, viz. that unquenchable fire prepared for him and his angels from the beginning.

They ſhall not hurt, &c.] See on chap. 11.9.
