Isaiah 62

¹For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent , and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet , until her righteousness goes forth as brightness , and her salvation as a burning torch .

²The nations shall see your righteousness , and all the kings your glory , and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give .

³You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God .

⁴You shall no more be termed Forsaken , and your land shall no more be termed Desolate , but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her , and your land Married ; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married .

⁵For as a young man marries a young woman , so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride , so shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶On your walls , O Jerusalem , I have set watchmen ; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent . You who put the Lord in remembrance , take no rest ,

⁷and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth .

⁸The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm : I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies , and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored ;

⁹but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the Lord, and those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary .

¹⁰Go through , go through the gates ; prepare the way for the people ; build up , build up the highway ; clear it of stones ; lift up a signal over the peoples .

¹¹Behold , the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth : Say to the daughter of Zion , Behold , your salvation comes ; behold , his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

¹²And they shall be called The Holy People , The Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out , A City Not Forsaken .
