Context — Zion’s Salvation and New Name
7nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
8The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations! 11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”Cross References

Isaiah 62:9 Summary
This verse is saying that when we work hard and are blessed by God, we should remember to thank and praise Him for it. It's like having a big feast to celebrate all the good things God has given us, and we get to enjoy it with Him in a special way, like in a big worship service. This reminds us of what Jesus said in Matthew 15:36, that we should always give thanks to God for the food we eat. By doing so, we can experience the joy and celebration of worshiping God, as seen in Psalms 23:5, where God prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies.
Frequently Asked Questions

How does this verse relate to the idea of God's people being blessed and prosperous?
This verse shows that God's people will be blessed with an abundance of food and drink, and they will enjoy it in a state of worship and gratitude, as seen in Isaiah 25:6-9, where God promises a feast for all nations.

- What are some ways I can cultivate a spirit of gratitude and praise in my daily life, like those who harvest grain and gather grapes in this verse?
- How can I ensure that I am using the blessings and provisions of God in my life to worship and honor Him, rather than just for my own pleasure?
- What does it mean for me to 'eat and drink in God's holy courts', and how can I experience this kind of joy and celebration in my relationship with God?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 62:9
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 62:9
They that have gathered it, i.e. the wine mentioned in the former verse, that have brought it from their several vineyards, and laid it in their cellars, every one shall eat the fruit of his own labours; thou shalt not sow, and another reap, as formerly. And praise the Lord; they themselves shall praise him, viz. for his bounty and goodness; and others also that shall be partakers with them; God will be bountiful, and they shall be thankful. In the courts of my holiness; as I have commanded, ; in my courts; holiness being put for God himself by a metonymy of the adjunct; alluding to those anniversary feasts and thank-offerings that were to be eaten in those places about the temple, and perhaps in special to that part which was appropriated to the priests, implying herein that they should be all priests; and, for aught I know, here may be an allusion to the great gospel feast, or thank-offering in the Lord’ s supper, these promises being not only applicable to, but do point at, the soul protections and the soul provisions of the church of Christ.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 62:9
Isaiah 62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.Ver. 9. But they that have gathered it shall eat it.] A sufficiency of outward comforts they shall be sure of, together with righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; so much, at least, as shall support their spirits. Mr Paul Bain saith thus of himself, I thank God in Christ, sustentation I have, but suavities spiritual, I taste not any. Shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.] He alludeth to their manner of feasting before the Lord, when they brought thank offerings; and the like is still done by us at the Eucharist, or Lord’ s Supper especially. Bain’ s Letters.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 62:9
(9) In the courts of my holiness.—Better, of my sanctuary. The harvest and the vintage festivals are to be kept, as of old, without interruption, the master of the house, with his family and the Levites and the poor (Deuteronomy 14:22-27), eating of the first- fruits “before the Lord.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 62:9
Verse 9. But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord] This and the following line have reference to the law of Moses: "Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil; but thou must eat them before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose," Deuteronomy 12:17-18. "And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years it shall be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten of. But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord withal. And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit thereof," Leviticus 19:23-25. This clearly explains the force of the expressions, "shall praise JEHOVAH," and "shall drink it in my sacred courts." Five MSS., one ancient, have יאכלוהו yocheluhu, they shall eat it, fully expressed: and so likewise ישתוהו yishtuhu, they shall drink it, is found in nineteen MSS., three of them ancient. - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 62:9
9. Cf. ch. Isaiah 65:21-22. in the courts of my holiness] Render, in my holy courts; not as R.V., “in the courts of my sanctuary.” The allusion is to the festivals in the Temple, where the first-fruits were eaten with rejoicing before Jehovah (Deuteronomy 12:17 f., Isaiah 14:23 ff., Isaiah 16:9-14).
