Isaiah 62

Revised Geneva Translation

62 “For Zion’s sake, I will not be silent. And for Jerusalem’s sake, I will not rest, until their righteousness breaks forth as the light, their salvation as a burning lamp.”

² And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. And you shall be called by a new name which the Mouth of the LORD shall name.

³ You shall also be a crown of glory in the Hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the Hand of your God.

⁴ No more shall it be said to you, “Forsaken.” Nor shall it be said anymore to your land, “Desolate.” But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah. For the LORD delights in you; and your land shall have a husband.

⁵ For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you. And as a bridegroom is glad of the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶ I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall not cease all the day and all the night, continually. You who are mindful of the LORD, do not keep silence,

⁷ and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he sets up Jerusalem as the praise of the world.

⁸ The LORD has sworn by His right Hand and by His strong Arm, “Surely, no more will I give your grain to be food for your enemies. And surely, the sons of the strangers shall not drink your wine for which you have labored.

⁹ “But those who have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD. And its gatherers shall drink it in the courts of My Sanctuary.”

¹⁰ Go through! Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Cast up! Cast up the way and gather out the stones! Set up a standard for the people!

¹¹ Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the world, “Tell the daughter, Zion, ‘Behold, your Savior comes. Behold, His wages are with Him and His work before Him.’”

¹² And they shall call them, “The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD.” And you shall be named, “A City Sought Out, Not Forsaken.”
