Isaiah 62
62
Zion’s Glory and New Name
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her salvation like a torch that is burning.
2The nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new name
Which the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3You will also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh,
And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.
4It will no longer be said to you, “#62:4 Heb AzubahForsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “#62:4 Heb ShemamahDesolate”;
But you will be called, “#62:4 Heb HephzibahMy delight is in her,”
And your land, “#62:4 Heb BeulahMarried”;
For Yahweh takes pleasure in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
5For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the #62:5 Lit exultation of the bridegroombridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you.
6¶On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;
7And give Him no rest until He establishes
And sets Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.
8Yahweh has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
“I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies;
Nor will #62:8 Lit sons of foreignersforeigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
9But those who collect it will eat it and praise Yahweh;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
10¶Go through, go through the gates,
Clear the way #62:10 Lit offor the people;
Build up, build up the highway,
Remove the stones, raise up a standard over the peoples.
11Behold, Yahweh has #62:11 Or caused it to be heardannounced to the end of the earth,
Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes;
Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”
12And they will call them, “The holy people,
The redeemed of Yahweh”;
And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”

Isaiah 62
62
LXII
1For Zion's sake I will not keep silence,
And for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest,
Until her righteousness go forth as brightness;
And her salvation like a torch that burneth.
2And the nations shall see thy righteousness,
And all kings thy glory;
And thou shalt be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
3Thou shalt also be a beautiful crown in the hand of Jehovah,
And a royal diadem in the palm of the hand of thy God.
4Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken;
Neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate;
But thou shalt be called, The object of my delight;
And thy land, The wedded matron:
For Jehovah shall delight in thee,
And thy land shall be joined in marriage.
5For as a young man marrieth a virgin,
So shall thy sons marry thee,
And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
So shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem!
All the day and all the night long they shall not keep silence.
Ye that make mention of Jehovah, keep not silence,
7And give Him no rest,
Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength:
Surely, I will no more give thy corn for food to thine enemies,
And the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured:
9But they that have gathered it shall eat it,
And shall praise Jehovah:
And they that have brought it together, shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10Pass ye, pass through the gates;
Prepare the way for the people;
Cast up, cast up the causeway; clear it of stones;
Lift up a standard for the people.
11Behold! Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth:
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold! thy salvation cometh;
Behold! his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12And they shall be called: The Holy People, The Redeemed of Jehovah;
And thou shalt be called: The Frequented, The City Unforsaken.
