Chocolate Sweet Potato Bars with Molasses Oat Crust





17 “Behold, I will create 
   new heavens and a new earth. 
The former things will not be remembered, 
   nor will they come to mind. 
18 But be glad and rejoice forever 
   in what I will create, 
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight 
   and its people a joy. 
19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem 
   and take delight in my people; 
the sound of weeping and of crying 
   will be heard in it no more.

 20 “Never again will there be in it
   an infant who lives but a few days,
   or an old man who does not live out his years;
he who dies at a hundred
   will be thought a mere youth;
he who fails to reach a hundred
   will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them;
   they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
   or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,
   so will be the days of my people;
my chosen ones will long enjoy
   the works of their hands.
23 They will not toil in vain
   or bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the LORD,
   they and their descendants with them.
24 Before they call I will answer;
   while they are still speaking I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
   and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
   but dust will be the serpent’s food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
   on all my holy mountain,”
            says the LORD.Isaiah 65
