The Defended Virgin
Commentators explain that calling Jerusalem "the virgin daughter of Zion" is powerful imagery. It highlights her vulnerability, like a defenseless young woman, but also her unconquered purity, as she had never been taken by an enemy. God is portrayed as a protective Father and Husband who will not allow this "virgin" to be violated by the Assyrian aggressor.
