Isaiah 62
62
The Vindication and Salvation of Zion
1For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out like the dawn,
and her salvation like a burning torch.
2The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
that 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 young woman,
so shall your builder#62.5 Cn: Heb 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 posted sentinels;
all day and all night
they shall never be silent.
You who remind the Lord,
take no rest,
7and give him no rest
until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it renowned throughout 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 the 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 my holy courts.
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.
11The Lord has proclaimed
to the end of the earth:
Say to daughter Zion,
“See, your salvation comes;
his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.”
12They shall be called, “The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord”;
and you shall be called, “Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.”

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.
