Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 62
62
1For Tziyon’s sake I will not be silent,
for Yerushalayim’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out brightly
and her salvation like a blazing torch.
2The nations will see your vindication
and all kings your glory.
Then you will be called by a new name
which Adonai himself will pronounce.
3You will be a glorious crown in the hand of Adonai,
a royal diadem held by your God.
4You will no longer be spoken of as ‘Azuvah [Abandoned]
or your land be spoken of as ‘Sh’mamah [Desolate];
rather, you will be called Heftzi-Vah [My-Delight-Is-In-Her]
and your land Be‘ulah [Married].
For Adonai delights in you,
and your land will be married —
5as a young man marries a young woman,
your sons will marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
your God will rejoice over you.
6I have posted watchmen
on your walls, Yerushalayim;
they will never fall silent,
neither by day nor by night.
You who call on Adonai,
give yourselves no rest;
7and give him no rest till he restores Yerushalayim
and makes it a praise on earth.
8Adonai has sworn by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain
to your enemies as food;
nor will strangers drink your wine,
for which you worked so hard;
9but those who harvest the grain will eat it
with praises to Adonai;
those who gathered the wine will drink it
in the courtyards of my sanctuary.”
10Go on through, go on through the gates,
clear the way for the people!
Build up a highway, build it up!
Clear away the stones!
Raise a banner for the peoples!
11Adonai has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
“Say to the daughter of Tziyon,
‘Here, your Salvation is coming!
Here, his reward is with him,
and his recompense is before him.’”
12They will call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of Adonai.
You will be called D’rushah [Sought-After],
‘Ir Lo Ne‘ezvah [City-No-Longer-Abandoned].

Zion’s New Identity
1For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,
and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude,
until her righteousness goes out like the bright light,
and her salvation burns like a torch.
2And the nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
and you will be called#Literally “it shall be called to you” a new name
that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,
and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.
4It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,”
and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”
but you will#Literally “to you it shall” be called “My Delight Is In Her,”
and your land, “Married,”
for Yahweh 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 is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.
6I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem;
all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
7And you must not give him rest until he establishes,
and until he makes#Literally “places” Jerusalem an object of praise#Literally “a praise” in the earth.
8Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
and by his mighty arm,#Literally “the arm of his might”
“Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,#Literally “those who are hostile to you”
and surely foreigners#Literally “sons of a foreign country” shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
9But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh,
and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.#Literally “the courts of my holiness”
10Pass through, pass through the gates!
Make the way clear for#Literally “of” the people!
Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones!#Hebrew “stone”
Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
11Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth:
Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming!
Look, his reward is with him,
and his reward before him.
12And they shall call them “The Holy People,#Literally “People of the Holiness” The Redeemed Of Yahweh,”
and you#Literally “to you it” shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”
