Isaiah 62

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.

²And ^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.

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

And a royal ^fdiadem in the hand of thy God.

^4gThou 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.

⁵For ^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.

⁶I 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, ⁷and give him no rest,

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

⁸The 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:

⁹But 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.

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

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

^zLift up a standard for the people.

¹¹Behold, 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.

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

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