Isaiah 62:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

And give him no rest - Hebrew, dªmiy (H1824), the same as in Isaiah 62:6, "silence:" 'keep not silence' yourselves, 'nor let Him rest in silence.' Compare as to Messiah Himself, "will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest" (Isaiah 62:1). Messiah's watchmen (Isaiah 62:6-7) imitate Him (Isaiah 62:1) in intercessory 'prayer without ceasing' for Jerusalem (Psalms 122:6; Psalms 51:18): also for the spiritual Jerusalem, the Church (Luke 18:1; Luke 18:7; Romans 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 3:10).

And till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth - (note, Isaiah 61:11; Zephaniah 3:20.)
