62 For Zion’s sake I will not 1hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 aThe Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all bkings your glory.
cYou shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
3 You shall also be da crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
4 eYou shall no longer be termed fForsaken, 2
Nor shall your land any more be termed gDesolate; 3
But you shall be called 4Hephzibah, and your land 5Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
hSo shall your God rejoice over you.
6 iI have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall 6never hold their peace day or night.
You who 7make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem ja praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer kgive your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it lin My holy courts.”
Go through the gates!
mPrepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
nLift up a banner for the peoples!
11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
o“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His preward is with Him,
And His 8work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
