What does Isaias Chapter 62 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Isaias 62 begins with refusal of silence or rest for Sion and Jerusalem until her just one shines and saviour burns like a lamp. Gentiles and kings see and the Lord assigns a new name. Crown and diadem in his hand replace Forsaken and Desolate with My pleasure in her and inhabited land. A young man dwelling with a virgin and children within the city accompany bridegroom-like divine joy.

Watchmen are appointed on walls all day and night without silence. Those mindful of the Lord give no silence until Jerusalem becomes earth's praise. The Lord swears by right hand and strong arm not to give corn and wine to enemies and strangers; gatherers eat and praise, and those bringing it together drink in holy courts. The source does not specify a physically raised arm or a mechanism by which prayer ensures renewal without delay.

People pass gates, prepare and level road, remove stones and raise a standard. Earth's ends hear the announcement of the coming saviour, reward with him and work before him. They are named holy and redeemed, and the city sought after and not forsaken. A general promise that every believer peacefully enjoys all labor, or that unceasing vigil is a universal causal requirement for every promise, is not added. The edition's Christ-and-Church reading remains identified.
