Isaiah 62
62
Assurance of Zion’s Salvation
1For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2#Is. 60:3The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all #Ps. 102:15, 16; 138:4, 5; 148:11, 13kings your glory.
#Is. 62:4, 12; 65:15You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
3You shall also be #Is. 28:5; Zech. 9:16; 1 Thess. 2:19a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
4#Hos. 1:10; 1 Pet. 2:10You shall no longer be termed #Is. 49:14; 54:6, 7Forsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed #Is. 54:1Desolate;
But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
5For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
#Is. 65:19So shall your God rejoice over you.
6#Is. 52:8; Jer. 6:17; Ezek. 3:17; 33:7I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
7And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem #Is. 60:18; 61:11; Jer. 33:9; Zeph. 3:19, 20a praise in the earth.
8The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer #Lev. 26:16; Deut. 28:31, 33; Judg. 6:3–6; Is. 1:7; Jer. 5:17give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it #Deut. 12:12; 14:23, 26in My holy courts.”
10Go through,
Go through the gates!
#Is. 40:3; 57:14Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
#Is. 11:12Lift up a banner for the peoples!
11Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
#Zech. 9:9; Matt. 21:5; John 12:15“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His #Is. 40:10; (Rev. 22:12)reward is with Him,
And His work before Him.’ ”
12And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.

Isaiah 62
62
1For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
until her vindication goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 #
Rev 2.17. The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
which 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,#62.4 Heb Azubah
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;#62.4 Heb Shemamah
but you shall be called My delight is in her,#62.4 Heb Hephzibah
and your land Married;#62.4 Heb Beulah
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5For 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.
6Upon 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.”
10Go through, go through the gates,
prepare the way for the people;
build up, build up the highway,
clear it of stones,
lift up an ensign 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.
