Jerome

Commentary on Isaiah (420)

(Verse 6, 7.) I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day or night: you who make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. LXX: And upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen, who shall never hold their peace day or night, remembering the Lord: there is no one like you, if he corrects you, and he will make Jerusalem rejoice upon the earth.

And give him no rest - Margin, ‘Silence.’ In Hebrew the same word (דמי dŏmiy) as in Isa 62:6. The idea is, ‘Keep not silence yourselves, nor let him rest in silence. Pray without ceasing; and do not intermit your efforts until the desires of your hearts shall be granted, and Zion shall be established, and the world saved.’ Till he establish - Until he shall establish Jerusalem, and restore it to its former rank and privileges.

Charles Spurgeon

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2189: “A Call To Prayer and Testimony” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1891)

IN the opening verses of this chapter our Lord declares that He will not rest till His purpose of Grace is accomplished. "For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest." His soul is set upon the perfection of His Church. There is never a moment when the heart of Christ ceases to beat high with desire for the salvation of His redeemed. From the dreadful work of making Atonement, He stayed not His hand, but set His face like a flint towards it, till He could say, "It is finished."
