Isa 62:1-12.
英文原文
Isa 62:1-12.
INTERCESSORY PRAYERS FOR ZION'S RESTORATION, ACCOMPANYING GOD'S PROMISES OF IT, AS THE APPOINTED MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHING IT.
1. I--the prophet, as representative of all the praying people of God who love and intercede for Zion (compare
Isa 62:6, 7; Ps 102:13-17),
or else Messiah (compare
Isa 62:6).
So Messiah is represented as unfainting in His efforts for His people
(Isa 42:4; 50:7).
righteousness thereof--not its own inherently, but imputed to it, for its restoration to God's favor: hence "salvation" answers to it in the parallelism. "Judah" is to be "saved" through "the Lord our (Judah's and the Church's) righteousness"
(Jer 23:6).
as brightness--properly the bright shining of the rising sun
(Isa 60:19; 4:5; 2Sa 23:4; Pr 4:18).
lamp--blazing torch.

new name——表達你全新而改善的狀況
(Isa 62:4),
因是耶和華親自所賜而更為寶貴持久
(Isa 62:12; Isa 65:15; Re 2:17; 3:12).
英文原文
2.
(Isa 11:10; 42:1-6; 49:7, 22, 23; 60:3, 5, 16).
new name--expression of thy new and improved condition
(Isa 62:4),
the more valuable and lasting as being conferred by Jehovah Himself
(Isa 62:12; Isa 65:15; Re 2:17; 3:12).

3.
(Zec 9:16)
in . . . hand of . . . Lord——冠冕既戴在頭上，而非「在手中」，手在此必為喻意，指「在主的保護之下」（比較
De 33:3).
「祂的眾聖徒都在你手中。」祂的百姓在祂手中，同時也是祂「華美的冠冕」
(Re 6:2; 19:12);
反之，祂也是他們「榮耀的冠冕、華美的冕旒」
(Isa 28:5;
比較
Mal 3:17).
英文原文
3.
(Zec 9:16)
in . . . hand of . . . Lord--As a crown is worn on the head, not "in the hand," hand must here be figurative for "under the Lord's protection" (compare
De 33:3).
"All His saints are in thy hand." His people are in His hand at the same time that they are "a crown of glory" to Him
(Re 6:2; 19:12);
reciprocally, He is "a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty" to them
(Isa 28:5;
compare
Mal 3:17).

4. be termed——被「撇棄」，以致那稱呼能適用於你。
Hephzi-bah——
(2Ki 21:1),
希西家妻子的名字，是耶路撒冷的預表，正如希西家是彌賽亞的預表
(Isa 32:1):
「我所喜悅的」。
Beulah——「你有丈夫」。比較在同樣比喻下錫安過去與未來狀態的對比
(Isa 54:4-6;
Re 21:2, 4).
land . . . married——歸耶和華為其主和丈夫：不僅暗示擁有權，更暗示擁有者的保護 [HORSLEY]。
英文原文
4. be termed--be "forsaken," so as that that term could be applicable to thee.
Hephzi-bah--
(2Ki 21:1),
the name of Hezekiah's wife, a type of Jerusalem, as Hezekiah was of Messiah
(Isa 32:1):
"my delight is in her."
Beulah--"Thou art married." See the same contrast of Zion's past and future state under the same figure
(Isa 54:4-6; Re 21:2, 4).
land . . . married--to Jehovah as its Lord and Husband: implying not only ownership, but protection on the part of the Owner [HORSLEY].

5. thy sons——不如更改標點（這在希伯來文中無權威性），作「你的建造者」或「恢復者」，即神；因在平行句中，以及在
Isa 62:4
中，暗示神與她「結為夫妻」；而她的「眾子」很難說是與他們的母親結婚；而且在
Isa 49:18
中，他們被稱為她的新娘裝飾，而非她的丈夫。出於敬畏，神的複數形式建造者被用來表示「丈夫」（見
Isa 54:5
的註解。）
over the bride——擁有新娘
(Isa 65:19;
Jer 32:41;
Zep 3:17).
英文原文
5. thy sons--rather, changing the points, which are of no authority in Hebrew, "thy builder" or "restorer," that is, God; for in the parallel clause, and in
Isa 62:4,
God is implied as being "married" to her; whereas her "sons" could hardly be said to marry their mother; and in
Isa 49:18,
they are said to be her bridal ornaments, not her husband. The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as "husbands" (see on
Isa 54:5).
over the bride--in the possession of the bride
(Isa 65:19; Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17).

6. I——以賽亞以彌賽亞的身份發言。
watchmen upon . . . walls——取自城牆上設立守望、觀望報好信息使者臨近的比喻
(Isa 52:7, 8);
那好信息是關乎猶大流亡者從巴比倫歸回，預表將來從現今分散中歸回（比較
Isa 21:6-11; 56:10;
Eze 3:17; 33:7).
東方的守望以高聲呼喊宣告，以顯示守望者的警醒。
ye that . . . mention . . . Lord——希伯來文作「你們是耶和華的記念者」；神的僕人藉禱告「題醒神」記念祂的應許
(Isa 43:26);
我們被要求題醒神——彷彿神能——而祂不能——忘記祂的應許
(Ps 119:49;
Jer 14:21).
英文原文
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
(Isa 52:7, 8);
the good tidings of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, prefiguring the return from the present dispersion (compare
Isa 21:6-11; 56:10; Eze 3:17; 33:7).
The watches in the East are announced by a loud cry to mark the vigilance of the watchmen.
ye that . . . mention . . . Lord--Hebrew, "ye that are the Lord's remembrancers"; God's servants who by their prayers "put God in remembrance" of His promises
(Isa 43:26);
we are required to remind God, as if God could, which He cannot, forget His promises
(Ps 119:49; Jer 14:21).

7. no rest——希伯來文作「靜默」；你們自己不可靜默，也不要讓祂在靜默中安歇。試觀彌賽亞自己也曾如此：「我必不……靜默……必不息聲」
(Isa 62:1)；
彌賽亞的守望者
(Isa 62:6, 7)
效法祂
(Isa 62:1)，
為耶路撒冷獻上「不住的禱告」作代求
(Ps 122:6; 51:18)；
也為那屬靈的耶路撒冷——教會——如此代求
(Lu 18:1, 7; Ro 1:9)。
a praise——（見
Isa 61:11;
Zep 3:20 註釋）。
英文原文
7. no rest--Hebrew, "silence"; keep not silence yourselves, nor let Him rest in silence. Compare as to Messiah Himself, "I will not hold . . . peace . . . not rest"
(Isa 62:1);
Messiah's watchmen
(Isa 62:6, 7)
imitate Him
(Isa 62:1)
in intercessory "prayer without ceasing" for Jerusalem
(Ps 122:6; 51:18);
also for the spiritual Jerusalem, the Church
(Lu 18:1, 7; Ro 1:9).
a praise--(See on

drink it in . . . courts——那些收取葡萄的人，要在環繞聖殿的院宇舉行的宴席上喝

等等)。
英文原文

drink it in . . . courts--They who have gathered the vintage shall drink it at the feasts held in the courts surrounding the temple

&c.).

10. 以賽亞以彌賽亞的身分曾不息地尋求的事
(Isa 62:1)，
以及守望者當不息地禱告的事
(Isa 62:7)，
並耶和華所鄭重應許的事
(Isa 62:8, 9)，
如今將要成就；外邦列國受命「經過城門」（不論是其本國的城門〔ROSENMULLER〕或耶路撒冷的城門〔MAURER〕），為要從「百姓（以色列）的路」上除去一切障礙（見
Isa 7:14；
Isa 40:3; 52:10-12 註釋）。
standard——為分散的猶太人聚集而設，使他們歸回

(Isa 62:1)
unrestingly to seek, and what the watchmen were unrestingly to pray for
(Isa 62:7),
and what Jehovah solemnly promised
(Isa 62:8, 9),
is now to be fulfilled; the Gentile nations are commanded to "go through the gates" (either of their own cities [ROSENMULLER] or of Jerusalem [MAURER]), in order to remove all obstacles out of "the way of the people (Israel)" (see on
Isa 7:14;
Isa 40:3; 52:10-12).

(Isa 62:4; Jer 30:14)。
英文原文
12. Sought out--Sought after and highly prized by Jehovah; answering to "not forsaken" in the parallel clause; no longer abandoned, but loved; image from a wife
(Isa 62:4; Jer 30:14).
Isa 62:1-12.
為錫安復興而發的代求，伴隨著神對此事的應許，作為成就此事的指定途徑。

(Isa 42:4; 50:7).
righteousness thereof——不是其固有的義，而是歸於其身的義，因其恢復了神的恩寵：因此「拯救」在平行結構中與之相應。「猶大」必藉著「耶和華我們的（猶大與教會的）義」而「得救」
(Jer 23:6).
as brightness——確切地指日出時明亮的輝光
(Isa 60:19; 4:5; 2Sa 23:4; Pr 4:18).
