Isaiah, Chapter 62
1. For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until its righteousness goes out as brightness, and her salvation as a burning lamp.
2. And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD will name.
3. You also will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4. You will no more be called Forsaken; nor will your land any more be called Desolate; but you will be called My Delight, is in her, and your land, Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
5. For as a young man marries a virgin, so will your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
6. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who will not always be silent all the day nor all the night; you who remember the LORD, do not be silent.
7. And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8. The LORD has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and the sons of strangers will not drink your wine for which you have labored.
9. But its gatherers will eat it and praise the LORD; and they who collected it will drink it in My holy courts.
10. Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people. Raise up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.
11. Behold, the LORD has sent a message to the end of the earth, Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
12. And they will call them, The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken.
