Isaiah62
Zion’s Glory and New Name
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning.2The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.3You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.4It will no longer be said to you, “ Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “ Desolate”; But you will be called, “ My delight is in her,” And your land, “ Married”; For the LORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.5For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your God will rejoice over you. 6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;7And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.8The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, “I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies; Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”9But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary. 10Go through, go through the gates,
Clear the way for the people;
Build up, build up the highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”12And they will call them, “The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD”; And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”
