Isaiah 62
62
1For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp 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 the LORD shall name. 3Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in 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 Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 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; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are the LORD'S remembrancers, take ye no rest, 7and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 9but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples. 11Behold, the LORD 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 recompence before him. 12And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 62
62
Zion’s Restoration
1I will not keep silent because of Zion,
and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,#Ps 83:1; Is 64:12; 65:6
until her righteousness shines like a bright light#Is 1:26; 58:8; 61:11
and her salvation, like a flaming torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness#Is 60:3
and all kings, your glory.
You will be given a new name
that the Lord’s mouth will announce.#Is 60:14; Rv 2:17; 3:12
3You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,
and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand.#Is 28:5; Zch 9:16; 1Th 2:19
4You will no longer be called Deserted,#Is 54:6–7; 60:15,18
and your land will not be called Desolate;
instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her,#62:4 Or Hephzibah
and your land Married;#62:4 Or Beulah#Hs 2:19–20
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land will be married.
5For as a young man marries a young woman,
so your sons will marry you;
and as a groom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.#Is 65:19
6Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;#Is 52:8; Jr 6:17; Ezk 3:17; 33:7
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.
7Do not give him rest
until he establishes and makes Jerusalem
the praise of the earth.#Is 60:18; Jr 33:9; Zph 3:19–20
8The Lord has sworn with his right hand
and his strong arm:
I will no longer give your grain
to your enemies for food,#Lv 26:16; Dt 28:31,33; Jdg 6:3–6; Is 1:7; Jr 5:17
and foreigners will not drink the new wine
for which you have labored.
9For those who gather grain will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
in my holy courts.
10Go out, go out through the city gates;
prepare a way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;#Is 11:16; 19:23; 35:8; 49:11; 57:14
clear away the stones!
Raise a banner for the peoples.#Is 11:10,12; 49:22
11Look, the Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:#Zch 9:9; Mt 21:5
Look, your salvation is coming,
his wages are with him,#Is 40:10; Rv 22:12
and his reward accompanies him.”
12And they will be called#62:12 Lit will call them the Holy People,#Dt 7:6; Is 4:3; 1Pt 2:9
the Lord’s Redeemed;
and you will be called Cared For,
A City Not Deserted.
