Isaiah 62:3

"The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name."

Key Reflection

Isaiah 62:3 envisions a future where Jerusalem, representing God's people, experiences an unprecedented transformation. The nations of the world will witness the righteousness and glory that God brings to His city, recognizing the divine favor upon it. Moreover, God promises to bestow a new name upon these people, one that reflects their elevated status and the glory He intends for them, highlighting the personal involvement of the LORD in this redemptive process.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory -On the application of the word ‘crown’ to a place, see the notes atIsaiah 28:1, where it is applied to Samaria. Some difficulty has been felt by expositors in explaining this, from the fact that a crown or diadem was worn on the head and not held in the hand, and some have supposed that the word ‘crown’ here is equivalent to any ornament which might be either horne in the hand or worn on the head; others have supposed that the reference is to the custom of carrying a chaplet or garland in the hand on festival occasions.
