The speaker, likely the prophet Isaiah or God Himself, expresses a commitment to advocating for Zion. In biblical context, Zion is a symbol of God's chosen people and His dwelling place. The determination to "not keep silent" underscores the urgency and importance of God's promises to Israel. This reflects God's unwavering commitment to His covenant with Israel, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/132-13.htm">Psalm 132:13-14</a>, where Zion is chosen as God's dwelling.and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still Jerusalem holds a central place in biblical history as the political and spiritual capital of Israel. The phrase "I will not keep still" suggests active intervention and divine involvement in the affairs of Jerusalem. Historically, Jerusalem has been the focal point of God's redemptive plan, and this commitment to not remain inactive highlights God's ongoing concern for the city. This is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/zechariah/8-3.htm">Zechariah 8:3</a>, where God promises to return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem.until her righteousness shines like a bright light The imagery of righteousness shining like a bright light conveys the transformation and vindication of Jerusalem. Righteousness here implies a return to a right relationship with God, reflecting His character and justice. This transformation is a fulfillment of prophetic promises, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/60.htm">Isaiah 60:1-3</a>, where the glory of the Lord rises upon Jerusalem, attracting nations to its light. The bright light symbolizes the visible manifestation of God's favor and presence.her salvation like a blazing torch Salvation is depicted as a blazing torch, suggesting both guidance and protection. The torch is a powerful symbol of God's deliverance and the restoration of His people. This imagery connects to the broader biblical theme of light as a symbol of salvation and divine truth, as seen in <a href="/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27:1</a>, where the Lord is described as light and salvation. The blazing torch signifies the clarity and intensity of God's saving work, illuminating the path for His people and drawing others to His light.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/z/zion.htm">Zion</a> Often used to refer to Jerusalem, Zion is a symbol of God's chosen people and His dwelling place.

Is he the prophet, or the Servant of Jehovah, or Jehovah Himself ? On the whole, the second view seems to be most in harmony with what follows. The true Servant will carry on what in the language of later theology may be called his mediatorial intercessory work, that there may be no delay in the fulfilment of the glorious promises that have just been uttered.As brightness.--Better, as the brightness of morning, the word being thus used in <a href="/isaiah/60-3.htm" title="And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.">Isaiah 60:3</a>, <a href="/proverbs/4-18.htm" title="But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.">Proverbs 4:18</a>.As a lamp . . .--Better, as a burning torch.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/62.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-12. - FURTHER GRACIOUS PROMISES MADE TO ISRAEL BY "THE SERVANT." Some regard the speaker in this chapter as Jehovah; some as the prophet, or the prophetical order; some as "the Servant." The last supposition appears to us the simplest and the best. The close connection with the preceding chapter is evident. If that then be, in the main, "a soliloquy of the Servant," this should he a continuation of the soliloquy. Israel is promised "righteousness," "glory," "a new name," a guard of angels, a time of peace and prosperity, deliverance from Babylon, and triumphant establishment in Zion under God's protection. Verse 1. - For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace. In the past God has kept silence (<a href="/isaiah/42-14.htm">Isaiah 42:14</a>; <a href="/isaiah/57-11.htm">Isaiah 57:11</a>). "The Servant" has not caused his voice to be heard. Babylon has been allowed to continue her oppression unchecked. But now there will be a change. God will lift up his voice, and the nations will hear; and the "salvation" of Israel will be effected speedily. For Jerusalem's sake. "Zion" and "Jerusalem" are used throughout as synonyms (<a href="/isaiah/2-3.htm">Isaiah 2:3</a>; <a href="/isaiah/4-3.htm">Isaiah 4:3, 4</a>; <a href="/isaiah/31-4.htm">Isaiah 31:4, 5</a>, and 9; 33:20; 40:9; 41:27; 52:1; 64:10, etc.), like "Israel" and Jacob." Strictly speaking, "Zion" is the mountain, "Jerusalem" the city built upon it. Until the righteousness thereof go forth (comp. <a href="/isaiah/54-17.htm">Isaiah 54:17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10, 11</a>). As brightness; or, as the dawn (comp <a href="/isaiah/60-3.htm">Isaiah 60:3</a>; <a href="/proverbs/4-18.htm">Proverbs 4:18</a>; <a href="/daniel/6-19.htm">Daniel 6:19</a>). Salvation... as a lamp that burneth; rather, as a torch that blazeth (comp. <a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a>; <a href="/nahum/2.htm">Nahum 2</a>:14; <a href="/zechariah/12-6.htm">Zechariah 12:6</a>). Israel's "salvation" would be made manifest; primarily by her triumphant return from Babylon, and more completely by her position in the final kingdom of the Redeemer. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/62-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>For Zion’s צִיּוֹן֙ (ṣî·yō·wn) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6726.htm">Strong's 6726: </a> Zion -- a mountain in Jerusalem, also a name for Jerusalem sake לְמַ֤עַן (lə·ma·‘an) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent I will not לֹ֣א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no keep silent, אֶחֱשֶׁ֔ה (’e·ḥĕ·šeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2814.htm">Strong's 2814: </a> To be silent, inactive, or still and for Jerusalem’s יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם (yə·rū·šā·lim) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3389.htm">Strong's 3389: </a> Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all Israel sake וּלְמַ֥עַן (ū·lə·ma·‘an) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent I will not לֹ֣א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no keep still, אֶשְׁק֑וֹט (’eš·qō·wṭ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8252.htm">Strong's 8252: </a> To be quiet or undisturbed until עַד־ (‘aḏ-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while her righteousness צִדְקָ֔הּ (ṣiḏ·qāh) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6664.htm">Strong's 6664: </a> The right, equity, prosperity shines יֵצֵ֤א (yê·ṣê) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim like a bright light, כַנֹּ֙גַהּ֙ (ḵan·nō·ḡah) Preposition-k, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5051.htm">Strong's 5051: </a> Brilliancy her salvation וִישׁוּעָתָ֖הּ (wî·šū·‘ā·ṯāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3444.htm">Strong's 3444: </a> Something saved, deliverance, aid, victory, prosperity like a blazing יִבְעָֽר׃ (yiḇ·‘ār) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1197.htm">Strong's 1197: </a> To kindle, consume, to be, brutish torch. כְּלַפִּ֥יד (kə·lap·pîḏ) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3940.htm">Strong's 3940: </a> A flambeau, lamp, flame <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/62-1.htm">Isaiah 62:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/62-1.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/61-11.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 61:11"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 61:11" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/62-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 62:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 62:2" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
