Deuteronomy 28:30 lists as a curse the exact outcome the exemption prevents—planting a vineyard but not enjoying its fruit.

Leviticus 19:23-25 provides the law that fruit from a newly planted vineyard cannot be eaten until the fifth year—explaining why a man might not yet have used its fruit.

Isaiah 65:22 promises that planters will not have others eat their fruit—a direct reversal of the fear motivating the exemption here.

Jeremiah 31:5 promises that planters will enjoy their fruit—directly reversing the scenario in Deuteronomy 20:6 where another might use it.

Zephaniah 1:13 describes as judgment the very outcome the exemption seeks to avoid—planting vineyards but not drinking wine.

1 Corinthians 9:7 applies the same principle—who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit?—to argue for supporting gospel workers.
