The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
62: 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 burns. 62:2The nations shall
see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the
mouth of Yahweh shall name. 62:3You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and
a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 62:4You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall
your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzi-bah, and your land
Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married. 62:5For 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. 62:6I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never hold their
peace day nor night: you who call on Yahweh, take no rest, 62:7and give him no rest, until he
establish, and until he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 62:8Yahweh has sworn by his right
hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your
enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored: 62:9but those
who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Yahweh; and those who have gathered it shall drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary. 62:10Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the
people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.
62:11Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say you to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
62:12They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Yahweh: and you shall be called
Sought out, A city not forsaken.
