Theodoret of Cyrus, on Isa 62:6
Theodoret of Cyrus · c. A.D. 393–457
Isa 62:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Upon thy wails, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace,”
On this verse:
“Again, he gives the name Jerusalem to the bride but calls guards those who lead the godly people through city and town, those who night and day sing praises to God and guard the city. If one wants to take these as angels, one would not be far wrong. For it says, "The angel of the Lord will encircle those who are afraid and protect them."”
