Isaiah 62:1–63:6

For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until athe righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,

And the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2  And bthe Gentiles shall see thy righteousness,

And call kings thy glory:

And thou shalt be called by da new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

3  Thou shalt also be ea crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,

And a royal fdiadem in the hand of thy God.

4  gThou shalt no more be termed hForsaken;

Neither shall thy land any more be termed iDesolate:

But thou shalt be called ||Hephzi-bah,

And thy land ||Beulah:

For the Lord delighteth in thee,

And thy land shall be married.

5  For kas a young man marrieth a virgin,

So shall lthy sons marry thee:

And †as mthe bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,

So nshall thy God rejoice over thee.

6  I have set owatchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,

Which shall never hold their peace day nor night:

||qYe that make mention of the Lord,

Keep not silence, 7 And give him no †rest,

Till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem ra praise in the earth.

8  The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,

†Surely sI will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies;

And tthe sons of the stranger ttshall not drink thy uwine, for the which thou hast laboured:

9  But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and vpraise the Lord;

And they that have brought it together shall drink it vin the courts of my holiness.

10  Go through, go through the gates; wxprepare ye the way of the people;

xCast up, cast up the highway; ygather out the stones;

zLift up a standard for the people.

11  Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,

aSay ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, bthy salvation cometh;

cBehold, his reward is with him,

cAnd his ||work before him.

12  And dthey shall call them, eThe holy people, fThe redeemed of the Lord:

And thou shalt be called, Sought out, gA city not forsaken.

63 Who is this that cometh from Edom,

aWith dyed garments from bBozrah?

This that is †glorious in his apparel,

cTravelling in the greatness of his strength?

I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2  Wherefore dart thou red in thine apparel,

And thy garments like him that etreadeth in the winefat?

3  I have etrodden the winepress alone;

And of the people there was none with me:

For fI will tread them in mine anger,

And trample them in gmy fury;

And dtheir hblood shall be sprinkled upon my garments,

And I will stain all my raiment.

4  For ithe day of vengeance is in mine heart,

And the year of kmy redeemed is come.

5  lAnd I looked, and mthere was none to help;

And I wondered that there was none to uphold:

nTherefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me;

nAnd gmy fury, it upheld me.

6  And I will tread down the people in mine anger,

And omake them drunk in gmy fury,

And I will bring down their hstrength to the earth.
