So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
aSo shall your God rejoice over you.
They shall1 never hold their peace day or night.
You who1 make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
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.
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ain My holy courts.”

Isaiah 62:7
And give him no rest - Margin, ' Silence.' In Hebrew the same word ( dŏmiy ) as in Isaiah 62:6. The idea is, ' Keep not silence yourselves, nor let him rest in silence. Pray without ceasing; and do not intermit your efforts until the desires of your hearts shall be granted, and Zion shall be established, and the world saved.'
Till he establish - Until he shall establish Jerusalem, and restore it to its former rank and privileges.
Till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth - That it may be the subject of universal commendation and rejoicing, instead of being an object of reproach and scorn. The truth taught here is, that it is the privilege and duty of the ministers of God to pray unceasingly for the extension of his kingdom. Day and night the voice of prayer is to be urged, and urged as if they would give Yahweh no rest until the desires of their hearts should be granted (compare Luke 18:1 ff).
