Isa 62
1
For Zion`s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem`s sake I will not rest,
until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2
And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall
be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
3
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the
hand of your God.
4
You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate:
but you shall be called Hephzi-bah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH 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 upon your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace
day nor night: you that are YHWH`s remembrancers, take you no rest,
7
and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
earth.
8
YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no
more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your
new wine, for which you have labored:
9
but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and they that have gathered
it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10
Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast
up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.
11
Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say you to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before
him.
12
And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called
Sought out, A city not forsaken.
