Isaiah 62:4 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Forsaken — As a woman forsaken by her husband. Thy land — The inhabitants of the land. Hephzi — bah — My delight is in her; a new name agreeing with her new condition. Beulah — Married; agreeing to her new relation. Married — Thou shalt see the increase of thy children again in the land, as the fruit of thy married condition, which by reason of thy being forsaken of thy husband, were in a manner wasted and decayed: and this refers to the great enlargement of the church in the gospel days.

Isaiah 62:4

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah,a and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
