1:63 You may think to yourself that you are fairly old because you are almost fifty. But in My eyes, the eyes of Oyagami, you still have much of a future left ahead. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 15 六三、もう直ぐ年が五十だから自分では相当年寄だと思うているであろうが、親神から見れば、まだまだ将来がある。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:45
1:63 [Verses 63 and 64] are concerned with the matter of Shuji’s marriage. Since he is already 49 at this point, we might think that he is well past marriageable age. From God’s perspective, however, he has “many years ahead of” him, and God promises him at least “[s]ixty years… with certainty.
