Isaiah 62:8,9
The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy cornto be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: …

Leviticus 26:16
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Deuteronomy 28:30-33
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof…

they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Planting vineyards and enjoying their produce symbolizes long-term investment and the enjoyment of one's labor, which was often disrupted by foreign invasions and oppression. In ancient Israel, vineyards were a sign of wealth and blessing, as seen in passages like1 Kings 4:25, where every man lived under his vine and fig tree, indicating peace and prosperity. This promise also contrasts with the curses of disobedience found inDeuteronomy 28:30, where others would eat the fruit of their labor. Theologically, this phrase can be seen as a type of the Messianic age, where Jesus Christ, the true vine (John 15:1), brings about a kingdom where His followers will enjoy the fruits of righteousness and eternal life. The imagery of vineyards is also used in prophetic literature to describe the restoration of Israel (Amos 9:14) and the blessings of the new covenant.

- The promise opens with proactive, creative work. Rather than receiving prefabricated dwellings, God’s people actively construct homes, showing purposeful labor restored to blessing (Genesis 2:15;1 Thessalonians 4:11–12).

- The wording echoes God’s covenant language, signaling permanence instead of exile (2 Samuel 7:10;Ezekiel 28:26). What sin once disrupted—stable habitation—will be fully reclaimed.

- Security replaces the dread of losing what was built (Deuteronomy 28:30 warns of the opposite curse). Here, ownership is uninterrupted.

- “Dwell” indicates settled, unthreatened life (Psalm 91:1;Micah 4:4). It anticipates the New Jerusalem where no invader or decay can dispossess (Revelation 21:3–4).

- The verse affirms literal fulfillment—real houses, real people living in them—showing that God’s future kingdom is tangible, not merely symbolic.

- Planting vineyards requires patience; harvest comes seasons later. This vision assures long-term peace so that such investments make sense (Jeremiah 31:5;Zechariah 8:12).

- Vineyards throughout Scripture picture joy and prosperity (Psalm 128:3;John 15:1–5). Planting them points to a restored earth where work and worship intertwine.

- The curse reversed: no one else consumes their labor (Leviticus 26:16 stands in contrast). God guarantees full enjoyment of what is produced (Ecclesiastes 3:13).

-Amos 9:14 parallels this pledge: “They will plant vineyards and drink their wine.” Both passages highlight personal delight, not exploitation.

- The phrase previews the marriage supper of the Lamb, a celebratory feast where God’s people partake of prepared abundance (Matthew 26:29;Revelation 19:9).

Isaiah 65:21 paints a concrete picture of God’s coming kingdom: productive work, permanent security, joyful cultivation, and personal enjoyment of blessings. Every clause counters former judgment and confirms that, in the renewed earth, what God’s people build, plant, and harvest will be theirs to enjoy forever.
