Isaiah 62
62
Watchmen for Jerusalem
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out brightly, and her salvation as a blazing torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Adonai’s mouth will bestow.
3You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Adonai, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4No longer will you be termed “Forsaken”, no longer your land termed “Desolate”. Instead you will be called, “My Delight is in Her” and your land, “Married”. For Adonai delights in you, and your land will be married.
5For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over a bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6On your walls, Jerusalem, I have set watchmen. All day and all night, they will never hold their peace. “You who remind Adonai, take no rest for yourselves,
7And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8Adonai has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm: “Surely I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies, nor will foreigners drink your new wine, for which you have labored.
9But those who have garnered it will eat it and praise Adonai, and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of My Sanctuary.”
10Go through, go through the gates. Clear the way for the people! Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Lift up a banner over the peoples.
11Behold, Adonai has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the Daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes! See, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”
12Then they will call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of Adonai, and you will be called, Sought Out, A City 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.
