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 called by 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. # 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, # Or Hephzibah
and your land Married; # 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 # Lit and the rejoicing of the groom 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 your new wine
you have labored for.
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 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: # Mt 21:5; Zch 9:9
Look, your salvation is coming,
His reward is with Him, # Is 40:10; Rv 22:12
and His gifts accompany Him.”
12And they will be called # 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.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 62
62
1For Tsiyon’s sake I am not silent, and for Yerushalayim’s sake I do not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her deliverance as a lamp that burns.
2And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates.
3And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal head-dress in the hand of your Elohim.
4No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land be married.
5For as a young man marries a maiden, so shall your sons marry you. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your Elohim rejoice over you.
6I have set watchmen on your walls, O Yerushalayim, all the day and all the night, continually, who are not silent. You who remember יהוה, give yourselves no rest,
7and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Yerushalayim a praise in the earth.
8יהוה has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength, “No more do I give your grain to be food for your enemies, nor do sons of the foreigner drink your new wine, for which you have laboured;
9but those gathering it shall eat it, and praise יהוה. And those collecting it shall drink it in My set-apart courts.”
10Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples!
11See, יהוה has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Tsiyon, ‘See, your deliverance has come; see, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’ ”
12And they shall be called, “The Set-apart People, the Redeemed of יהוה.” And you shall be called, “Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.”
