Ésaïe 62:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 62:9

But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the
Lord
That is, the corn; they who have manured the land, sowed seed in it, reaped it when ripe, gathered it in its season; these shall eat the fruit of their labours, and praise the Lord for it, acknowledge his bounty and goodness to them; for notwithstanding all the diligence, industry, and labour of men, it is through the blessing of the Lord, and owing to his favour, that they have bread, and a sufficiency of it, to eat; which when they have, they should be thankful for it, ( Deuteronomy 8:10 ) and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of
my holiness:
that is, the wine they shall drink; having planted vineyards, and gathered the grapes when ripe, and brought them to the winepress, and there made wine of them; they shall drink it at a proper time and place: the allusion is to the priests and Levites eating and drinking holy things, within the compass and bounds of the temple; and may signify the converted Jews, partaking of the Gospel and Gospel ordinances in the house of God, as well as the Gentiles, being all now made priests unto God. The Arabic version interprets it of persons "gathered", that should eat and drink. The Targum is express, they that gather the corn in, and they that press the wine.

Ésaïe 62:9 In-Context

7 Et ne lui donnez point de repos, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait rétabli Jérusalem, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fait d'elle un sujet de louange sur la terre!
8 L'Éternel l'a juré par sa droite et par son bras puissant: Je ne donnerai plus ton froment pour nourriture à tes ennemis, et les enfants de l'étranger ne boiront plus ton vin, pour lequel tu auras travaillé.
9 Mais ceux qui auront amassé le froment le mangeront et loueront l'Éternel, et ceux qui auront récolté le vin le boiront dans les parvis de mon sanctuaire.
10 Passez, passez par les portes; préparez le chemin du peuple; relevez, relevez la route, ôtez-en les pierres; dressez l'étendard vers les peuples!
11 Voici, l'Éternel fait entendre sa voix jusqu'au bout de la terre: Dites à la fille de Sion: Voici, ton salut vient! Voici, son salaire est avec lui, et sa récompense vient devant lui.
