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

62:1 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.
62:2 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.
62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a
royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any
more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy
land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be
married.
62:5 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.
62:6 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,
62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem
a praise in the earth.
62:8 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:
62:9 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.
62:10 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.
62:11 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.
62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
