10 Say unto the righteous that it is well with them; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Quote for Discussion

Fruit—
In prophetic language, trees often symbolize people, and their good fruits represent good works. The “fruits of righteousness” (2 Cor. 9:10; Heb. 12:11) come through the atonement of “Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” (Philip. 1:11). When Isaiah writes that the righteous will “eat the fruit of their doings” (3:10), this may signify that the righteous will enjoy the fruits of the Spirit, which include “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance” (Gal. 5:22-23; Eph. 5:9, 11). Evil trees, however, will bear rotten fruit, which is representative of the works of the wicked. Christ taught, “by their fruits ye shall know them” (3 Ne. 14:16-20).
