Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 62:6-7

Isaiah 62:6-7. I have set watchmen, &c. The word שׁומרים , thus rendered, signifies properly those priests and Levites who kept watch day and night about the temple, and is from them applied to the spiritual watchmen and ministers of the Christian Church. They are said to be set upon the walls of the spiritual Jerusalem, in allusion to sentinels placed upon the walls of besieged cities, from whence they have an extensive prospect, that they may observe and give notice of the motions... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

Good news for the exiles (61:1-62:12)God’s Spirit gives the prophet some good news to pass on to the Jews held captive in Babylon. They will be released to return to their land, but their captors will be punished (61:1-2). When they arrive in Jerusalem, they may be overcome with grief because of the ruin and devastation they see around them. But God will encourage and strengthen them so that they can rebuild their beloved city (3-4).Foreigners will carry out the everyday duties for the Jews and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 62:6

"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night: ye that are Jehovah's remembrancers, take ye no rest, and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine ... for which thou hast labored: but they that have garnered it shall eat... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 62:6-7

Isaiah 62:6-7. I have set watchmen, &c.— As much as to say, "since God, by the peculiar blessing of his providence, hath placed watchmen upon the walls of Jerusalem, who shall constantly watch for its safety; therefore do you, who are intrusted with this office, perform your parts diligently, and intercede continually with him, that he would graciously fulfil the magnificent promises which he hath made to his church."

6. I—Isaiah speaking in the person of the Messiah. watchmen upon . . . walls—image from the watches set upon a city's wall to look out for the approach of a messenger with good tidings (Isaiah 52:7; Isaiah 52:8); the good tidings of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, prefiguring the return from the present dispersion (compare Isaiah 21:6-11; Isaiah 56:10; Ezekiel 3:17; Ezekiel 33:7). The watches in the East are announced by a loud cry to mark the vigilance of the watchmen. ye that .... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:1-9

The certainty of these benefits 62:1-9It seemed to Isaiah’s audience that the promises in chapter 60 could hardly come to pass, since the Babylonian exile was still looming ahead of them. The Lord assured them that He would surely fulfill these promises."Much of this chapter speaks of preparation being made for the coming of the Lord and for the restoration of His people, thus expanding the thoughts in Isaiah 40:3-5; Isaiah 40:9."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:6

The Lord revealed that He had appointed watchmen, whose job it was to remind Him of His promises to Israel, so that He would not forget them (cf. Isaiah 36:3; 2 Samuel 8:16; 1 Kings 4:3; Luke 2:36-38). Obviously the Lord does not forget His promises, but this assurance, in the language of the common practice of the day, underscored the fact that He would not forget. The watchmen in view may be angels and or human intercessors (cf. Ezekiel 33; Daniel 4:13; Luke 11:5-10; Luke 18:1-8). read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 62:6

(6) I have set watchmen upon thy walls . . .—The “watchmen” have been differently interpreted as (1) angelic guardians and (2) prophets. Zechariah 1:12, and Daniel 10:16-21 may be alleged in favour of (1), but on the whole, (2) seems preferable. The prophets of the return from exile, Zechariah, Haggai, Malachi, may be thought of as representative examples of such “watchmen,” as also are the prophets of the Christian Church, which takes partly, at least, the position of the new Jerusalem.Ye that... read more
