Isaiah 62:8-9 NLT,NIV,ESV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:6-9

6-9 God's professing people must be a praying people. He is not displeased with us for being earnest, as men commonly are; he bids us to cry after him, and give him no rest, Luke 11:5; Luke 11:6. It is a sign that God is coming to a people in mercy, when he pours out a spirit of prayer upon them. See how uncertain our creature-comforts are. See also God's mercy in giving plenty, and peace to enjoy it. Let us delight in attending the courts of the Lord, that we may enjoy the consolations of his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

the Land of Beulah Isaiah 62:1-12 The Intercessor , Isaiah 62:1-4 . Messiah is speaking here. Throughout the ages, He ever lives to make intercession. He asks that His Church may be one, that the heathen may be given Him for His inheritance, and that Israel may be restored. It is the cry of the unresting Savior. When Jesus pleads for thee, poor soul, thou canst not be desolate and forsaken. God loves, though all hate; God delights, though all abhor; God remains, though all forsake. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 62:1-12

Having thus dealt with the material prosperity, and with the spiritual realization, the prophet now describes in greater detail the vocational fulfilment. Speaking as in the midst of circumstances of incompleteness, he declares his desire, and avows his determination neither to hold his peace nor to rest until the people of God fulfil His ideal, so that He is vindicated among the nations. There is no uncertainty in his heart, for he declares his conviction that the people shall yet be called... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:1-12

THE COMING OF THE DELIVERER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION ( Isaiah 59:15 to Isaiah 62:12 ). Isaiah wanted them to know that God sees their desperate condition and determines to act. He looks for a man, someone to stand in the gap, but there is none. So He Himself acts. He will step in on behalf of His people. He will bring them a Deliverer, a Redeemer, One Who is clothed in righteousness and salvation, and also One Who is clothed in vengeance and zealousness for God. He is concerned with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:6-12

Isaiah Calls On His Followers To Be Watchmen And Preparers of the Way (Isaiah 62:6-12 ). These words probably to be seen as the words of Isaiah, although they could till be the words of the Anointed One. Both Isaiah and the Anointed One would seek to inspire God’s people to pray. The Appointment of Watchmen (Isaiah 62:6-9 ). Isaiah 62:6 ‘I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, They will never hold their peace day nor night, You who are Yahweh’s remembrancers, Take for yourselves no... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 62:8

This and the next verse are much to the same purpose, wherein the prophet, to encourage them to their industrious endeavours, tells them that the Lord had sworn to see to the prosperity of Jerusalem; and he names the hand, to signify his faithfulness, as the giving of our hand notes our fidelity; and arm, to signify his power, the arm of his strength, i.e. his strong arm: these being eminently to be engaged and put forth for his people, he swears by them. Surely I will no more give; or, If I... read more

They that have gathered it, i.e. the wine mentioned in the former verse, that have brought it from their several vineyards, and laid it in their cellars, every one shall eat the fruit of his own labours; thou shalt not sow, and another reap, as formerly. And praise the Lord; they themselves shall praise him, viz. for his bounty and goodness; and others also that shall be partakers with them; God will be bountiful, and they shall be thankful. In the courts of my holiness; as I have commanded,... read more
