4It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,”
         Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”;
         But you will be called, “My delight is in her,”
         And your land, “Married”;
         For the LORD delights in you,
         And to Him your land will be married.

5For as a young man marries a virgin,
         So your sons will marry you;
         And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
         So your God will rejoice over you.

6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
         All day and all night they will never keep silent.
         You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

7And give Him no rest until He establishes
         And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
         “I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies;
         Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

9But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD;
         And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10Go through, go through the gates,
         Clear the way for the people;
         Build up, build up the highway,
         Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.

11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
         Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes;
         Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”

12And they will call them, “The holy people,
         The redeemed of the LORD”;
         And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”

'For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest ... I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give Him no rest'--ISAIAH lxii. 1, 6, 7. Two remarks of an expository nature will prepare the way for the consideration of these words. The first is that the speaker is the personal Messiah. The second half of Isaiah's prophecies forms one great whole, which …

A Call to Prayer and Testimony
Mark well, beloved, how he would have his people to be in tune with himself! He will have no rest till salvation work is done; and he would not have us take rest; but he would have us stirred with passionate desire, and fired with holy zeal for the accomplishment of the divine plan of grace. Till he holds his peace he will not allow us to be silent. You that have the Revised Version will be struck with the more literal and forcible rendering of our text--"Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers, take …

The Watchmen that Go About the City Found Me, to whom I Said, Saw Ye Him whom My Soul Loveth?
Since I have not found my Beloved in any mortal creature, I have sought Him among those happy spirits that go about the city to guard it; they found me because they are ever on the watch, These are the watchmen (Isa. lxii. 6) whom God has set upon the walls of Jerusalem, and who shall never hold their peace day nor night. I asked them news of my Well-beloved, of Him for whom I burn with love; but though they themselves possess Him, they could not give Him to me. Methinks I see Mary Magdalene (John …

And the Manner of his Entry into Jerusalem, which was the Capital of Judæa...
And the manner of His entry into Jerusalem, which was the capital of Judæa, where also was His royal seat and the temple of God, the prophet Isaiah declares: Say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold a king corneth unto thee meek and sitting upon an ass, a colt the foal of an ass. [233] (Isa. lxii. 11, Zech. ix. 9) For, sitting. on an ass's colt, so He entered into Jerusalem, the multitudes strewing and putting down for Him their garments. And by the daughter of Sion he means Jerusalem. …

A Model of Intercession
"And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and shall say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine is come unto me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: I cannot rise and give thee? I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet, because of his importunity, he will arise and give him as many as he needeth."--LUKE xi. 5-8. …

"And He is the Propitiation,"
1 John ii. 2.--"And he is the propitiation," &c. Here is the strength of Christ's plea, and ground of his advocation, that "he is the propitiation." The advocate is the priest, and the priest is the sacrifice, and such efficacy this sacrifice hath, that the propitiatory sacrifice may be called the very propitiation and pacification for sin. Here is the marrow of the gospel, and these are the breasts of consolation which any poor sinner might draw by faith, and bring out soul refreshment. But truly, …
