Zion's Restoration
|
|
|
|
# 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.
