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.

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.”
