Isaiah 62
- For Zion's
sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,
and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
- And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy
glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which
the mouth of the LORD shall name.
- Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the
hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
- Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:
but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah,
and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.
- For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so
shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth
over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
- I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never
hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not
silence,
- And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
earth.
- The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink
thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
- But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and
they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
- Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye
the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones;
lift up a standard for the people.
- Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye
to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is
with him, and his work before him.
- And they shall call them, The holy people,
The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called,
Sought out, A city not forsaken.
