(Verse 23) For according to the days of a tree, the days of my people will be, and the work of their hands will grow old with my chosen.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He will make the times that come after comfortable to their children. As they shall be good, so it shall be well with them; they shall not be brought forth to days of trouble; nor shall it ever be said, Blessed is the womb that bore not. In the gospel church Christ's name shall be borne up by a succession.
