Isaiah - Chapter 62 | New King James Version

  • 1. For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
  • 2. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will 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. You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, {cf2super [69]} and your land Beulah; {cf2super [70]} For the Lord delights in you, And your land shall be married.
  • 5. For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you.
  • 6. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
  • 7. And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
  • 8. The Lord has sworn by His right hand And by the arm of His strength: "Surely I will no longer give your grain As food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
  • 9. But those who have gathered it shall eat it, And praise the Lord; Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts."
  • 10. Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples!
  • 11. Indeed the Lord has proclaimed To the end of the world: "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is 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 called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
