Isaiah 62:1-9

1 propter Sion non tacebo et propter Hierusalem non quiescam donec egrediatur ut splendor iustus eius et salvator eius ut lampas accendatur

2 et videbunt gentes iustum tuum et cuncti reges inclitum tuum et vocabitur tibi nomen novum quod os Domini nominabit

3 et eris corona gloriae in manu Domini et diadema regni in manu Dei tui

4 non vocaberis ultra Derelicta et terra tua non vocabitur amplius Desolata sed vocaberis Voluntas mea in ea et terra tua Inhabitata quia conplacuit Domino in te et terra tua inhabitabitur

5 habitabit enim iuvenis cum virgine et habitabunt in te filii tui et gaudebit sponsus super sponsam gaudebit super te Deus tuus

6 super muros tuos Hierusalem constitui custodes tota die et tota nocte perpetuo non tacebunt qui reminiscimini Domini ne taceatis

7 et ne detis silentium ei donec stabiliat et donec ponat Hierusalem laudem in terra

8 iuravit Dominus in dextera sua et in brachio fortitudinis suae si dedero triticum tuum ultra cibum inimicis tuis et si biberint filii alieni vinum tuum in quo laborasti

9 quia qui congregabunt illud comedent et laudabunt Dominum et qui conportant illud bibent in atriis sanctis meis

Isaiah 62:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 62

This chapter is a continuation of the prophecy of the glory of the church in the latter day. The prophet expresses his earnest desire for it, and his full assurance of it, Isa 62:1,2 which should lie in a new name, by which she should be called, and in her being a glorious crown and diadem in the hand of the Lord, Isa 62:3,4, in having her sons with her, and the Lord rejoicing over her, Isa 62:5, in having watchmen on her walls, and such as are the Lord's remembrancers in the midst of her, Isa 62:6,7, in plenty of food, Isa 62:8,9, in the coming of the Saviour, and in the gathering of elect Gentiles both to him and her, Isa 62:10-12.
