Isaiah 62

Zion’s Glory and New Name

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her ^arighteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her ^bsalvation like a torch that is burning.
2 The ^cnations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new ^dname
Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.
3 You will also be a ^ecrown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
And a royal headband in the hand of your God.
4 It will no longer be said to you, “ ^{▼▼I.e., Azubah
,} ^gForsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “ ^{▼▼I.e., Shemamah}Desolate”;
But you will be called, “ ^{▼▼I.e., Hephzibah}My delight is in her,”
And your land, “ ^{▼▼I.e., Beulah
,} ^kMarried”;
For the ^lLord delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the ^{▼▼Lit joy of the groom is over}groom rejoices over the bride,
So your ⁿGod will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed ^owatchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who ^pprofess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
7 And ^qgive Him no rest until He establishes
And makes ^rJerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
8 ^sThe Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will ^tnever again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will ^{▼▼Lit sons of foreigners}foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
9 But those who ^vharvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, ^wgo through the gates,
Clear a way ^{▼▼Lit of}for the people!
^yBuild up, build up the ^zhighway,
Remove the stones, lift up a ^aaflag over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the ^abend of the earth:
^acSay to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your ^adsalvation is coming;
^aeBehold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “ ^afThe holy people,
The ^agredeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City ^ahNot Abandoned.”
