Context of Isaiah 62:5
3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God. 4No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride. For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you. 6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves, 7nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5For as a young man marrieth a virgin - Roberts remarks on this, In general no youth marries a widow. Such a thing I scarcely ever heard of (in India), nor will it ever be except under some very extraordinary circumstances, as in the case of a queen, princess, or great heiress. Even widowers also, if possible, always marry virgins.‘ The idea here is, that Yahweh would have delight in his people, which would be properly represented by the affection which a…Read the comment

The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as "husbands" (see on Is 54:5). over the bride--in the…Read the comment
