In Isaiah 62:1, God declares His unwavering commitment to Zion and Jerusalem, ensuring that justice will prevail.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For Zion’s sake -(See the notes atIsaiah 1:8). On account of Zion; that is, on account of the people of God. I will not hold my peace -There have been very various opinions in regard to the person referred to here by the word ‘I.’ Calvin and Gesenius suppose that the speaker here is the prophet, and that the sense is, he would not intermit his labors and prayers until Zion should be restored, and its glory spread through all the earth. The Chaldee Paraphrast supposes that it is God who is the speaker, and this opinion is adopted by Grotius.
