ISAIAH ยท Chapter 62
62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake
I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,
and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns.
62:2 And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your
glory: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD
shall name.
62:3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
62:4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land
any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your
land Beulah: for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry
you: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice
over you.
62:6 I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall
never hold their peace day nor night: all of you that make mention of the
LORD, keep not silence,
62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem
a praise in the earth.
62:8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give your corn to be food for your enemies; and the
sons of the stranger shall not drink your wine, for the which you have
laboured:
62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD;
and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of
my holiness.
62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare all of you the way
of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift
up a standard for the people.
62:11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say
all of you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold,
his reward is with him, and his work before him.
62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
