# 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. |
