Isaiah 62

Zion’s Coming Salvation

1  a For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
b until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
 2  c The nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
d and you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the  Lord will give.
 3 You shall be e a crown of beauty in the hand of the  Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
 4  f You shall no more be termed g Forsaken ▼
▼ Hebrew Azubah

and your land shall no more be termed Desolate ▼
▼ Hebrew Shemamah

j but you shall be called k My Delight Is in Her ▼
▼ Hebrew Hephzibah

and your land Married; ▼
▼ Hebrew Beulah

for the  Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
 5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
so n shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so o shall your God rejoice over you.
 6  On your walls, O Jerusalem,
I have set p watchmen;
all the day and all the night
they shall never be silent.
You who put the  Lord in remembrance,
take no rest,
 7 and give him no rest
until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it q a praise in the earth.
 8 The  Lord has sworn r by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“I will not again give s your grain
to be food for your enemies,
t and foreigners shall not drink your wine
for which you have labored;
 9 but u those who garner it shall eat it
and praise the  Lord,
and v those who gather it shall drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.” ▼
▼ Or  in my holy courts

 10  Go through, go through the gates;
x prepare the way for the people;
y build up, build up the highway;
clear it of stones;
z lift up a signal over the peoples.
 11 Behold, the  Lord has proclaimed
to the end of the earth:
aa Say to the daughter of Zion,
ab “Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.”
 12  ac And they shall be called The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the  Lord;
ad and you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
