Isaiah 62
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,till her vindication shines out like the dawn,her salvation like a blazing torch. 2The nations will see your vindication,and all kings your glory;you will be called by a new namethat the mouth of the Lord will bestow. 3You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand,a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4No longer will they call you Deserted,or name your land Desolate.But you will be called Hephzibah,and your land Beulah;for the Lord will take delight in you,and your land will be married. 5As a young man marries a young woman,so will your Builder marry you;as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,so will your God rejoice over you. 6I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;they will never be silent day or night.You who call on the Lord,give yourselves no rest, 7and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalemand makes her the praise of the earth. 8The Lord has sworn by his right handand by his mighty arm:“Never again will I give your grainas food for your enemies,and never again will foreigners drink the new winefor which you have toiled; 9but those who harvest it will eat itand praise the Lord,and those who gather the grapes will drink itin the courts of my sanctuary.” 10Pass through, pass through the gates!Prepare the way for the people.Build up, build up the highway!Remove the stones.Raise a banner for the nations. 11The Lord has made proclamationto the ends of the earth:“Say to Daughter Zion,‘See, your Savior comes!See, his reward is with him,and his recompense accompanies him.’ ” 12They will be called the Holy People,the Redeemed of the Lord;and you will be called Sought After,the City No Longer Deserted.
