Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 62:1-12

Isaiah 62:1 . For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace. The Redeemer speaks by his prophet; the zeal of his Father’s house absorbed his soul. He imparted his Spirit to the apostles; they could not be deterred from declaring the resurrection and the glory of their Lord. The same Spirit accompanied St. Paul, in all his labours and travels throughout the Roman world. He said in word and deed, I count not my life dear to me, so that I might testify the gospel of the grace of God, and finish my... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:8-9

8, 9. Sworn by… hand… arm Possibly in answer to the foregoing provided-for intercessions, Jehovah swears by “hand” and “arm” symbols of strength pledging infinite power to fulfil his promise. Possibly this wrought an effect which may be paraphrased as follows: “As I am the eternal Jehovah, I never more will suffer Zion’s enemies, near or far, home or foreign, within or without, to plunder or cut off her supplies of corn and wine, both of which herself alone shall forever enjoy in the... read more
