8 Thus says the Lord , "As the new wine is found in the cluster , And one says , 'Do not destroy it, for there is benefit in it,' So I will act on behalf of My servants In order not to destroy all of them. 9 "I will bring forth offspring from Jacob , And an heir of My mountains from Judah ; Even My chosen ones shall inherit it, And My servants will dwell there . 10 " Sharon will be a pasture land for flocks , And the valley of Achor a resting place for herds , For My people who seek Me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 65:8-10
Commentary on Isaiah 65:8-10
(Read Isaiah 65:8-10)
In the bunch of unripe grapes, at present of no value, the new wine is contained. The Jews have been kept a distinct people, that all may witness the fulfilment of ancient prophecies and promises. God's chosen, the spiritual seed of praying Jacob, shall inherit his mountains of bliss and joy, and be carried safe to them through the vale of tears. All things are for the display of God's glory in the redemption of sinners.
