Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 65:23

_ _ bring forth for trouble — literally, “for terror,” that is, “They shall not bring forth children for a sudden death” (Leviticus 26:16; Jeremiah 15:8).

_ _ seed ... blessed — (Isaiah 61:9).

_ _ offspring with them — (Hosea 9:12). “Their offspring shall be with themselves” [Maurer]; not “brought forth” only to be cut off by “sudden death” (see the parallel clause).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 65:17-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 65:23

With them — Is blessed with them.
