Isaiah 62

Zion's Coming Salvation 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,Hebrew Azubah
   and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,Hebrew Shemamah
but you shall be called 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.
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."Or in my holy courts

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.
