62:1 For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for
Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shall
go forth as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp [that]
burneth.
62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings
thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the
mouth of the LORD shall name.
62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the
LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy
land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in
thee, and thy land shall be married.
62:5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons
marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
[so] will thy God rejoice over thee.
62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which]
shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make
mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
62:7 And give him no rest, till he shall establish, and till he
shall make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
62:8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of
his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn [to be] food
for thy enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink
thy wine, for which thou hast labored:
62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the
LORD; and they that have collected it shall drink it in the
courts of my holiness.
62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye 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 hath proclaimed to the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
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 thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not
forsaken.
