Isaiah 62
1
For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2
a The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all b kings your glory.
c You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the LORD will name.
3
You shall also be d a crown of glory
In the hand of the LORD,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
4
e You shall no longer be termed f Forsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed g Desolate;
But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
For the LORD delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
5
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
h So shall your God rejoice over you.
6
i I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
7
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem j a praise in the earth.
8
The LORD has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
"Surely I will no longer k give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9
But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the LORD;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it l in My holy courts."
10
Go through,
Go through the gates!
m Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
n Lift up a banner for the peoples!
11
Indeed the LORD has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
o "Say to the daughter of Zion,
'Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His p reward is with Him,
And His work before Him.' "
12
And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the LORD;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
