Isaiah 62

¹ For 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁸ The 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 will not drink your wine
for which you have labored;

⁹ but 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."

¹⁰ Go 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.

¹¹ Behold, 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."

¹² And they will call them the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the LORD;
and you will be called Sought Out,
a City Not Forsaken.
