Isaiah 62

Zion’s Glory and New Name

¹For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

²The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.

³You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, And a royal headband in the hand of your God.

⁴It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”; But you will be called, “My delight is in her,” And your land, “Married”; For the Lord delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.

⁵For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the groom rejoices over the bride, So your God will rejoice over you.

⁶¶On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;

⁷And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.

⁸The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies, Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

⁹But those who harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord; And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

¹⁰¶Go through, go through the gates, Clear a way for the people! Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a flag over the peoples.

¹¹Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation is coming; Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”

¹²And they will call them, “The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord”; And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City Not Abandoned.”
