Isaiah 62

LEB(i) 1 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude, until her righteousness goes out like the bright light, and her salvation burns like a torch. 2 And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you will be called* a new name that the mouth of Yahweh will designate. 3 And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God. 4 It shall no longer be said of you, "Forsaken," and it shall no longer be said of your land, "Desolation!" but you will* be called "My Delight Is In Her," and your land, "Married," for Yahweh 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 is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. 6 I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who profess Yahweh have no rest. 7 And you must not give him rest until he establishes, and until he makes* Jerusalem an object of praise* in the earth. 8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by his mighty arm,* "Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,* and surely foreigners* shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored." 9 But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh, and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.* 10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Make the way clear for* the people! Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones!* Lift up an ensign over the peoples! 11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth:
Say to daughter Zion, "Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his reward before him. 12 And they shall call them "The Holy People,* The Redeemed Of Yahweh," and you* shall be called "Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken."
