Isaiah 62
62
Zion’s Restoration
1I will not keep silent because of Zion,
and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,#Ps 83:1; Is 64:12; 65:6
until her righteousness shines like a bright light#Is 1:26; 58:8; 61:11
and her salvation, like a flaming torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness#Is 60:3
and all kings, your glory.
You will be given a new name
that the Lord’s mouth will announce.#Is 60:14; Rv 2:17; 3:12
3You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,
and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand.#Is 28:5; Zch 9:16; 1Th 2:19
4You will no longer be called Deserted,#Is 54:6–7; 60:15,18
and your land will not be called Desolate;
instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her,#62:4 Or Hephzibah
and your land Married;#62:4 Or Beulah#Hs 2:19–20
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land will be married.
5For as a young man marries a young woman,
so your sons will marry you;
and as a groom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.#Is 65:19
6Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;#Is 52:8; Jr 6:17; Ezk 3:17; 33:7
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.
7Do not give him rest
until he establishes and makes Jerusalem
the praise of the earth.#Is 60:18; Jr 33:9; Zph 3:19–20
8The Lord has sworn with his right hand
and his strong arm:
I will no longer give your grain
to your enemies for food,#Lv 26:16; Dt 28:31,33; Jdg 6:3–6; Is 1:7; Jr 5:17
and foreigners will not drink the new wine
for which you have labored.
9For those who gather grain will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
in my holy courts.
10Go out, go out through the city gates;
prepare a way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;#Is 11:16; 19:23; 35:8; 49:11; 57:14
clear away the stones!
Raise a banner for the peoples.#Is 11:10,12; 49:22
11Look, the Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:#Zch 9:9; Mt 21:5
Look, your salvation is coming,
his wages are with him,#Is 40:10; Rv 22:12
and his reward accompanies him.”
12And they will be called#62:12 Lit will call them the Holy People,#Dt 7:6; Is 4:3; 1Pt 2:9
the Lord’s Redeemed;
and you will be called Cared For,
A City Not Deserted.

Isaiah 62
62
Jerusalem Will Be Saved
1Jerusalem, I will speak up
for your good.
I will never be silent
till you are safe and secure,
sparkling like a flame.
2Your great victory will be seen
by every nation and king;
the Lord will even give you
a new name.
3You will be a glorious crown,
a royal headband
for the Lord your God.
4Your name will no longer be
“Deserted and Childless,”
but “Happily Married.”
You will please the Lord;
your country
will be his bride.
5Your people will take the land,#62.5 Your … land: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
just as a young man
takes a bride.
The Lord will be pleased
because of you,
just as a husband is pleased
with his bride.
6Jerusalem, on your walls
I have stationed guards,
whose duty it is
to speak out day and night,
without resting.
They must remind the Lord
7and not let him rest
till he makes Jerusalem strong
and famous everywhere.
8The Lord has given his word
and made this promise:
“Never again will I give
to your enemies
the grain and grapes
for which you struggled.
9As surely as you harvest
your grain and grapes,
you will eat your bread
with thankful hearts,
and you will drink your wine
in my temple.”
10People of Jerusalem,
open your gates!
Repair the road to the city
and clear it of stones;
raise a banner to help
the nations find their way.
11 #
Is 40.10; Rev 22.12. Here is what the Lord has said
for all the earth to hear:
“Soon I will come to save
the city of Zion
and to reward you.
12Then you will be called,
‘The Lord's Own People,
The Ones He Rescued!’
Your city will be known
as a good place to live
and a city full of people.”
