Isaiah 62:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 62:1

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

1 For Zion’s sake I will not¹ hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 ^aThe Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all ^bkings your glory.
^cYou shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.

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.

8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer ^agive your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.

9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ^ain My holy courts.”

10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
^aPrepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
^bLift up a banner for the peoples!

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
^a“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His ^breward is with Him,
And His¹ work before Him.’ ”

12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
