Isaia 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.

Isaia 62:9 In-Context

7 e non date requie a lui, finch’egli non abbia ristabilito Gerusalemme, e n’abbia fatta la lode di tutta la terra".
8 L’Eterno l’ha giurato per la sua destra e pel suo braccio potente: Io non darò mai più il tuo frumento per cibo ai tuoi nemici; e i figli dello straniero non berranno più il tuo vino, frutto delle tue fatiche;
9 ma quelli che avranno raccolto il frumento lo mangeranno e loderanno l’Eterno, e quelli che avran vendemmiato berranno il vino nei cortili del mio santuario.
10 Passate, passate per le porte! Preparate la via per il popolo! Acconciate, acconciate la strada, toglietene le pietre, alzate una bandiera dinanzi ai popoli!
11 Ecco, l’Eterno proclama fino agli estremi confini della terra: "Dite alla figliuola di Sion: Ecco, la tua salvezza giunge; ecco egli ha seco il suo salario, e la sua retribuzione lo precede".
