Isaiah 62
62
1For Zions sake I will not holde my tongue, and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vntil the righteousnes thereof breake foorth as the light, and saluation thereof as a burning lampe. 2And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. 3Thou shalt also be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royall diademe in the hand of thy God. 4It shall no more be sayd vnto thee, Forsaken, neither shall it be said any more to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord deliteth in thee, and thy land shall haue an husband. 5For as a yong man marieth a virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as a bridegrome is glad of the bride, so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee. 6I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles, O Ierusalem, which all the day and all the night continually shall not cease: ye that are mindfull of the Lord, keepe not silence, 7And giue him no rest, till hee repaire and vntill hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde. 8The Lord hath sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meate for thine enemies, and surely the sonnes of the strangers shall not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured. 9But they that haue gathered it, shall eate it, and prayse the Lord, and the gatherers thereof shall drinke it in the courtes of my Sanctuarie. 10Go through, go through the gates: prepare you the way for the people: cast vp, cast vp the way, and gather out the stones and set vp a standart for the people. 11Beholde, the Lord hath proclaimed vnto the endes of the world: tell the daughter Zion, Beholde, thy Sauiour commeth: beholde, his wages is with him, and his worke is before him. 12And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be named, A citie sought out and not forsaken.

Isaiah 62
62
Zion’s Salvation and New Name
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still,
until her righteousness shines like a bright light,
her salvation like a blazing torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory.
You will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,
a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4No longer will you be called Forsaken,#62:4 Hebrew Azubah
nor your land named Desolate;#62:4 Hebrew Shemamah
but you will be called Hephzibah,#62:4 Hephzibah means My delight is in her.
and your land Beulah;#62:4 Beulah means married.
for the Lord will take delight in you,
and your land will be His bride.
5For as a young man marries a young woman,
so your sons will marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.
6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord
shall take no rest for yourselves,
7nor give Him any rest
until He establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.
8The Lord has sworn by His right hand
and by His mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain
to your enemies for food,
nor will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled.
9For those who harvest grain
will eat it and praise the Lord,
and those who gather grapes
will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10Go out, go out through the gates;
prepare the way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;
clear away the stones;
raise a banner for the nations!
11Behold, the Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:
See, your Savior comes!
Look, His reward is with Him,
and His recompense goes before Him.”
12And they will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of The Lord;
and you will be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
