What does Isaiah 62:7 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
7. no rest--Hebrew, "silence"; keep not silence yourselves, nor let Him rest in silence. Compare as to Messiah Himself, "I will not hold ... peace ... not rest" (Is 62:1); Messiah's watchmen (Is 62:6, 7) imitate Him (Is 62:1) in intercessory "prayer without ceasing" for Jerusalem (Psa 122:6; 51:18); also for the spiritual Jerusalem, the Church (Lu 18:1, 7; Ro 1:9). a praise--(See on Is 61:11; Zep 3:20).
