Isaiah 62:6

62:6 I post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;

they should keep praying all day and all night.

You who pray to the Lord, don’t be silent!

Isaiah 63:14

63:14 Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze,

so the Spirit of the Lord granted them rest.

In this way you guided your people,

gaining for yourself an honored reputation.


sn The speaker here is probably the prophet.

tn Heb “all day and all night continually they do not keep silent.” The following lines suggest that they pray for the Lord’s intervention and restoration of the city.

tn Or “invoke”; NIV “call on”; NASB, NRSV “remind.”

tn The words “to graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

tn Or “so” (KJV, ASV), or “thus” (NAB, NRSV).

tn Heb “making for yourself a majestic name.”
