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.

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”.
