Isaiah 62
62
Jerusalem’s Salvation Is Coming
1For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent.
For Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until its righteousness shines like the dawn
and its salvation burns brightly like a torch.
2The nations will see your righteousness.
All kings will see your glory.
You will be given a new name
that the Lord will announce.
3Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord,
a royal crown in the hand of your God.
4You will no longer be called Deserted,
and your land will no longer be called Destroyed.
But you will be named My Delight,
and your land will be named Married.
The Lord is delighted with you,
and your land will be married.
5As a young man marries a woman,
so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.
6I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
They will never be silent day or night.
Whoever calls on the Lord, do not give yourselves any rest,
7and do not give him any rest until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it an object of praise throughout the earth.
8The Lord has sworn with his right hand and with his mighty arm,
“I will never again let your enemies eat your grain,
nor will foreigners drink the new wine which you made.”
9Those who harvest grain
will eat it and praise the Lord.
Those who gather grapes
will drink wine in my holy courtyards.
10Go through! Go through the gates!
Prepare a way for the people!
Build up! Build up the highway!
Clear away the stones!
Raise a flag for the people!
11The Lord has announced to the ends of the earth:
“Tell my people Zion,
‘Your Savior is coming.
His reward is with him,
and the people he has won arrive ahead of him.’ ”
12They will be called Holy People, Those Reclaimed by the Lord,
and you will be called Sought After, a City Not Deserted.

Isaiah 62
62
1I will speak out to encourage Jerusalem;
I will not be silent until she is saved,
And her victory shines like a torch in the night.
2Jerusalem, the nations will see you victorious!
All their kings will see your glory.
You will be called by a new name,
A name given by the LORD himself.
3You will be like a beautiful crown for the LORD.
4No longer will you be called “Forsaken”,
Or your land be called “The Deserted Wife”.
Your new name will be “God is Pleased with Her”.
Your land will be called “Happily Married”,
Because the LORD is pleased with you
And will be like a husband to your land.
5Like a young man taking a virgin as his bride,
He who formed you will marry you.
As a groom is delighted with his bride,
So your God will delight in you.
6On your walls, Jerusalem,
I have placed sentries;
They must never be silent day or night.
They must remind the LORD of his promises
And never let him forget them.
7They must give him no rest until he restores Jerusalem
And makes it a city the whole world praises.
8The LORD has made a solemn promise,
And by his power he will carry it out:
“Your corn will no longer be food for your enemies,
And foreigners will no longer drink your wine.
9But you that sowed and harvested the corn
Will eat the bread and praise the LORD.
You that tended and gathered the grapes
Will drink the wine in the courts of my Temple.”
10People of Jerusalem, go out of the city
And build a road for your returning people!
Prepare a highway; clear it of stones!
Put up a signal so that the nations can know
11 #
Is 40.10; Rev 22.12 That the LORD is announcing to all the earth:
“Tell the people of Jerusalem
That the LORD is coming to save you,
Bringing with him the people he has rescued.”
12You will be called “God's Holy People”,
“The People the LORD has Saved”.
Jerusalem will be called “The City that God Loves”,
“The City that God did not Forsake”.
