And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Thou shalt be called, Sought out - Sought after and highly prized by Yahweh: answering to a city not forsaken in the parallel clause: no longer abandoned, but loved: image from a wife (Isaiah 62:4; Jeremiah 30:14).
Remarks: Three agencies combine for the ultimate restoration of Zion, both temporarily and spiritually. First, Messiah, for her sake, 'holds not His peace,' and 'will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as the brightness' of the rising sun. Secondly, all believers are "set" by God as spiritual "watchmen," to be 'the Lord's remembrancers,' 'giving Him no rest day nor night until He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.' Thirdly, the Lord's oath is pledged, in behalf of His ancient people, that strangers and enemies shall no longer consume her produce and usurp her inheritance, but her children shall enjoy what is their own by right, and shall praise the Lord for it, and the 'courts of God's holy house' shall once more be thronged by grateful worshippers.
