Isaiah 62

Zion's Salvation and Glory

Zion's Salvation and Glory

1For 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 burneth . 2And the nations shall see thy righteousness , and all kings thy glory , and thou shalt be called by a new name , which the mouth of Jehovah shall name . 3Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah , and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God . 4Thou 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 Jehovah delighteth in thee , and thy land shall be married . 5For 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.

The Watchmen on the Walls

6I have set watchmen upon thy walls , O Jerusalem ; they shall never hold their peace day nor night : ye that are Jehovah ’s remembrancers, take ye no rest , 7and give him no rest , till he establish , and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand , and by the arm of his strength , Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine , for which thou hast labored : 9but they that have garnered it shall eat it , and praise Jehovah ; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary .

The Coming Salvation

10Go through , go through the gates ; prepare ye the way of the people ; cast up , cast up the highway ; gather out the stones ; lift up an ensign for the peoples . 11Behold , Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion , Behold , thy salvation cometh ; behold , his reward is with him , and his recompense before him . 12And they shall call them The holy people , The redeemed of Jehovah : and thou shalt be called Sought out , A city not forsaken .
