7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
7 And give him no rest,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.
7 They are to give him no peace until he does what he said, until he makes Jerusalem famous as the City of Praise.
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
7 Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work, until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 62:7
Commentary on Isaiah 62:6-9
(Read Isaiah 62:6-9)
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 11:5,6. 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 Spirit.
