Verse 8 of 25
Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 65:8
Theological / DevotionalThe new wine. The picture is that of a vineyard. The yield is mostly wild, sour grapes (see ch. 5:4). But the gatherers come across a cluster of good grapes capable of producing good wine, and the decree is issued, “Destroy it not.” This illustrates the attitude of God toward His people. They have sinned, and judgment has been decreed upon them. But they are not all wicked, and not all are to be destroyed. Those who are righteous among them will be spared and restored to their land.
A blessing is in it. The wild, sour grapes are worthless, and fit only for destruction. The good grapes, providing nourishment for man, are a blessing from God.
