# Chapter 62
|
||
1 I will not keep silent because of Zion,
|
||
and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,
|
||
until her righteousness shines like a bright light
|
||
and her salvation, like a flaming torch.
|
||
2 Nations will see your righteousness
|
||
and all kings, your glory.
|
||
You will be given a new name
|
||
that the Lord’s mouth will announce.
|
||
3 You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,
|
||
and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand.
|
||
4 You will no longer be called Deserted,
|
||
and your land will not be called Desolate;
|
||
instead, 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 young woman,
|
||
so your sons will marry you;
|
||
and as a groom rejoices over his bride,
|
||
so your God will rejoice over you.
|
||
6 Jerusalem,
|
||
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;
|
||
they will never be silent, day or night.
|
||
There is no rest for you,
|
||
who remind the Lord.
|
||
7 Do not give him rest
|
||
until he establishes and makes Jerusalem
|
||
the praise of the earth.
|
||
8 The Lord has sworn with his right hand
|
||
and his strong arm:
|
||
I will no longer give your grain
|
||
to your enemies for food,
|
||
and foreigners will not drink the new wine
|
||
for which you have labored.
|
||
9 For those who gather grain will eat it
|
||
and praise the Lord,
|
||
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
|
||
in my holy courts.
|
||
10 Go out, go out through the city gates;
|
||
prepare a way for the people!
|
||
Build it up, build up the highway;
|
||
clear away the stones!
|
||
Raise a banner for the peoples.
|
||
11 Look, the Lord has proclaimed
|
||
to the ends of the earth,
|
||
“Say to Daughter Zion:
|
||
Look, your salvation is coming,
|
||
his wages are with him,
|
||
and his reward accompanies him.”
|
||
12 And they will be called the Holy People,
|
||
the Lord’s Redeemed;
|
||
and you will be called Cared For,
|
||
A City Not Deserted. |
