Isaiah 62:1 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, so the Lord calls out through His prophet, in His eagerness to picture the glory which would pertain to Zion in the new dispensation, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, He will not feel satisfied, He will not abate in His zeal, until the righteousness thereof, the salvation guaranteed by His covenant, go forth as brightness, like the light of the dawn, and the salvation thereof as a lamp, a torch or cresset, that burneth, dispelling the gloom and darkness of ignorance.

Isaiah 62:1

1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
