# Isaiah 62 (New King James Version)
Assurance of Zion's Salvation

##### Chapter 62
###### 1 For Zion's sake I will not hold 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 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,  
And all kings your glory.  
You shall be called by a new name,  
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.  

###### 3 You shall also be a crown of glory  
In the hand of the Lord,  
And a royal diadem  
In the hand of your God.  

###### 4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,  
Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;  
But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;  
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,  
_So_ shall your God rejoice over you.

###### 6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;  
They shall never hold their peace day or night.  
You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,  

###### 7 And give Him no rest till He establishes  
And till He 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 longer give 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 in My holy courts."

###### 10 Go through,  
Go through the gates!  
Prepare the way for the people;  
Build up,  
Build up the highway!  
Take out the stones,  
Lift up a banner for the peoples!

###### 11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed  
To the end of the world:  
"Say to the daughter of Zion,  
'Surely your salvation is coming;  
Behold, His reward _is_ with Him,  
And His work 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.
