Isaiah 62
62
CHAPTER 62
1For Zion I shall not be still, and for Jerusalem I shall not rest, till the just [or rightwise] man thereof go out as shining, and the saviour thereof be tended as a lamp.
2And heathen men shall see thy just [or rightwise] man, and all kings shall see thy noble man; and a new name, which the mouth of the Lord named, shall be called to thee.
3And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a diadem of the realm in the hand of thy God.
4Thou shalt no more be called forsaken, and thy land shall no more be called desolate; but thou shalt be called My will in that, and thy land That that shall be inhabited; for it pleased the Lord in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.
5For a young man shall dwell with a virgin, and thy sons shall dwell in thee; and the spouse shall have joy on the spousess, and thy God shall have joy on thee.
6Jerusalem, I have ordained keepers on thy walls, all day and all night without end they shall not be still. Ye that think on the Lord, be not still,
7and give ye not silence to him, till he stablish, and till he set Jeru-salem praising in [the] earth.
8The Lord swore in his right hand, and in the arm of his strength, I shall no more give thy wheat to be meat to thine enemies, and alien sons shall not drink thy wine, in which thou hast travailed.
9For they that shall gather it together, shall eat it, and shall praise the Lord; and they that bear it together, shall drink in mine holy foreyards.
10Pass ye, pass ye by the gates; make ye ready a way to the people, make ye a plain path; and choose ye [the] stones, and raise ye [up] a sign to peoples.
11Lo! the Lord made heard in the last parts of the earth. Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy saviour cometh; lo! his meed is with him, and his work is before him.
12And they shall call them the holy people, again-bought of the Lord. Forsooth thou shalt be called a city sought, and not forsaken.

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.”
