This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
thy sons - rather, changing the points, which are of no authority in Hebrew, “thy builder” or “restorer,” that is, God; for in the parallel clause, and in Isa 62:4, God is implied as being “married” to her; whereas her “sons” could hardly be said to marry their mother; and in Isa 49:18, they are said to be her bridal ornaments, not her husband. The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as “husbands” (see on Isa 54:5).
over the bride - in the possession of the bride (Isa 65:19; Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17).
