Isaiah 62:2-12

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

10 transite transite per portas praeparate viam populo planum facite iter et eligite lapides elevate signum ad populos

11 ecce Dominus auditum fecit in extremis terrae dicite filiae Sion ecce salvator tuus venit ecce merces eius cum eo et opus eius coram illo

12 et vocabunt eos Populus sanctus Redempti a Domino tu autem vocaberis Quaesita civitas et non Derelicta

Isaiah 62:2-12 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.
