Zion's Coming Salvation
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 62
|
|
1. For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
|
|
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
|
|
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
|
|
and her salvation as a burning torch.
|
|
|
|
2. The nations shall see your righteousness,
|
|
and all the kings your glory,
|
|
and you shall be called by a new name
|
|
that the mouth of the LORD will give.
|
|
|
|
3. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
|
|
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
|
|
|
|
4. You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
|
|
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
|
|
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,
|
|
and your land Married;
|
|
for the LORD delights in you,
|
|
and your land shall be married.
|
|
|
|
5. For as a young man marries a young woman,
|
|
so shall your sons marry you,
|
|
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
|
|
so shall your God rejoice over you.
|
|
|
|
6. On your walls, O Jerusalem,
|
|
I have set watchmen;
|
|
all the day and all the night
|
|
they shall never be silent.
|
|
You who put the LORD in remembrance,
|
|
take no rest,
|
|
|
|
7. and give him no rest
|
|
|
|
until he establishes Jerusalem
|
|
and makes it a praise in the earth.
|
|
|
|
8. The LORD has sworn by his right hand
|
|
and by his mighty arm:
|
|
"I will not again give your grain
|
|
to be food for your enemies,
|
|
and foreigners shall not drink your wine
|
|
for which you have labored;
|
|
|
|
9. but those who garner it shall eat it
|
|
and praise the LORD,
|
|
and those who gather it shall drink it
|
|
in the courts of my sanctuary."
|
|
|
|
10. Go through, go through the gates;
|
|
prepare the way for the people;
|
|
build up, build up the highway;
|
|
clear it of stones;
|
|
lift up a signal over the peoples.
|
|
|
|
11. Behold, the LORD has proclaimed
|
|
to the end of the earth:
|
|
Say to the daughter of Zion,
|
|
"Behold, your salvation comes;
|
|
behold, his reward is with him,
|
|
and his recompense before him."
|
|
|
|
12. And they shall be called The Holy People,
|
|
The Redeemed of the LORD;
|
|
and you shall be called Sought Out,
|
|
A City Not Forsaken.
