Isaiah
62
- For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines
out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.
- The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth
of the LORD will bestow.
- You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD'S
hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
- No longer will they call you Deserted, or
name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
- As a young man marries a maiden, so will
your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your
God rejoice over you.
- I have posted watchmen on your walls, O
Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD,
give yourselves no rest,
- and give him no rest till he establishes
Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
- The LORD has sworn by his right hand and
by his mighty arm: "Never again will I give your grain as food for your
enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you
have toiled;
- but those who harvest it will eat it and
praise the LORD, and those who gather the grapes will drink it in the courts
of my sanctuary."
- Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare
the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.
- The LORD has made proclamation to the ends
of the earth: "Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.'"
- They will be called the Holy People, the
Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer
Deserted.
