Isaiah 62:5

Isaiah 62:5

3 You shall also be ^aa crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.

4 ^aYou shall no longer be termed ^bForsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed ^cDesolate;
But you shall be called¹ Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
^aSo shall your God rejoice over you.

6 ^aI have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall¹ never hold their peace day or night.
You who¹ make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,

7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem ^aa praise in the earth.

Isaiah 62:6 >>

thy sons—rather, changing the points, which are of no authority in Hebrew, "thy builder" or "restorer," that is, God; for in the parallel clause, and in Isaiah 62:4, God is implied as being "married" to her; whereas her "sons" could hardly be said to marry their mother; and in Isaiah 49:18, they are said to be her bridal ornaments, not her husband. The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as "husbands" (see on Isaiah 54:5).

over the bride—in the possession of the bride (Isaiah 65:19; Jeremiah 32:41; Zephaniah 3:17).
