Isaiah 62
62
The Salvation of Zion
1#Pr 4:18; Isa 62:6–7 For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent,
and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness
and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2#Isa 62:4; 62:12 The nations shall see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory.
And you shall be called by a new name,
which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3#Zec 9:16; 1Th 2:19 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4#Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
nor shall your land be termed Desolate;
but you shall be called My Delight Is In Her,
and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5#Isa 65:19 For as a young man marries a virgin,
so your sons shall marry you;
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so your God shall rejoice over you.
6#Isa 52:8; Ps 74:2 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,
who shall never hold their peace day nor night.
You who remind the Lord,
do not keep silent;
7#Jer 33:9; Zep 3:19–20 give Him no rest until He establishes
and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.
8#Dt 28:33; Jer 5:17 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
and by His strong arm:
Surely I will no longer give your grain
as food for your enemies;
and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your wine
for which you have labored.
9#Dt 12:12 But those who have gathered it shall eat it
and praise the Lord;
and those who have brought it shall drink it
in the courts of My sanctuary.
10#Isa 57:14; 49:22 Go through, go through the gates.
Prepare the way of the people;
build up, build up the highway.
Remove the stones;
lift up a standard over the peoples.
11#Zec 9:9; Mt 21:5; Rev 22:12 The Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth:
Say to the daughter of Zion,
“See, your salvation comes;
see, His reward is with Him,
and His recompense before Him.”
12#Isa 62:4; 35:9 They shall call them The Holy People,
the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you shall be called Sought Out,
a City Not Forsaken.

Isaiah’s Prayer for Jerusalem
1Because I love Zion,
I will not keep still.
Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,
I cannot remain silent.
I will not stop praying for her
until her righteousness shines like the dawn,
and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
2The nations will see your righteousness.
World leaders will be blinded by your glory.
And you will be given a new name
by the Lord’s own mouth.
3The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—
a splendid crown in the hand of God.
4Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”#62:4a Hebrew Azubah, which means “forsaken.”
or “The Desolate Land.”#62:4b Hebrew Shemamah, which means “desolate.”
Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”#62:4c Hebrew Hephzibah, which means “my delight is in her.”
and “The Bride of God,”#62:4d Hebrew Beulah, which means “married.”
for the Lord delights in you
and will claim you as his bride.
5Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
6O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;
they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
7Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work,
until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
8The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength:
“I will never again hand you over to your enemies.
Never again will foreign warriors come
and take away your grain and new wine.
9You raised the grain, and you will eat it,
praising the Lord.
Within the courtyards of the Temple,
you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed.”
10Go out through the gates!
Prepare the highway for my people to return!
Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders;
raise a flag for all the nations to see.
11The Lord has sent this message to every land:
“Tell the people of Israel,#62:11 Hebrew Tell the daughter of Zion.
‘Look, your Savior is coming.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.’”
12They will be called “The Holy People”
and “The People Redeemed by the Lord.”
And Jerusalem will be known as “The Desirable Place”
and “The City No Longer Forsaken.”
