Isa 62
1
For Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not Gr. relax rest, until her righteousness go forth
as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.
2
And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and kings your glory: and one shall
call you by a new name, which the Lords shall name.
3
And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in
the hand of your God.
4
And you shall no more be called Forsaken; and your land shall no more be called Desert:
for you shall be called My Pleasure, and your land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken
pleasure in you, and your land shall be inhabited.
5
And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall your sons dwell in you: and it shall
come to pass that as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice
over you.
6
And on your walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall
never cease making mention of the Lord.
7
For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise
on the earth.
8
For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give
your corn and your provisions to your enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink
your wine, for which you has laboured.
9
But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and
they that have gathered the grapes shall drink thereof in my holy courts.
10
Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the
way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.
11
For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Mt 21:5 say you to the daughter of Sion, Behold, your Saviour
has come to you, having his
reward and his work before his face.
12
And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and you shall be
called a city sought out, and not forsaken.
