Isaiah 62 is the sixty-second chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.^[1]^[2] This book contains the prophecies spoken by the prophet Isaiah, and is a part of the Book of the Prophets.^[3]^[4]

Some most ancient manuscripts containing this chapter in Hebrew language:

Ancient translations in Koine Greek:

This chapter can be grouped into:

And they shall call them,

The holy people,

The redeemed of the Lord:

and thou shalt be called,

Sought out,

A city not forsaken.^[7]

"They shall call them"; or, "men shall call them", equivalent to "they shall be called."^[8]
"Sought out...not forsaken" - Sought after and highly prized by Jehovah; answering to "not forsaken" in the parallel clause; no longer abandoned, but loved; image from a wife (Isaiah 62:4; Jeremiah 30:14).^[9] The city much sought after, or much desired - to wit, by converts who shall come from afar; by foreigners who shall come to do thee honor (see Isaiah 2:3; Isaiah 40:5-6, Isaiah 40:10-11; Isaiah 49:18-22). Or it may mean that Jerusalem would be a city sought out and desired by Yahweh; that is, no more forsaken by him. So Gesenius understands it.^[10]
"the holy people": a people separated and set apart for God, for his service and glory; chosen to be a special people, above all the people of the earth; chosen through sanctification of the Spirit, and to holiness here and hereafter, and so sanctified by God the Father, as in Jde 1:1, and in consequence of it are made holy by the Spirit of God, in the effectual calling; they are not holy by nature, nor by their own power, but by the grace of God, who calls them with a holy calling, and to holiness, and implants principles of grace and holiness in them^[11]
