Isaiah 62:1–7
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,o
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindicationp shines out like the dawn,q
her salvationr like a blazing torch.
2 The nationss will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new namet
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crownu of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,v
or name your land Desolate.w
But you will be called Hephzibah,a x
and your land Beulahb;
for the Lord will take delighty in you,
and your land will be married.z
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegrooma rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoiceb over you.
6 I have posted watchmenc on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,d
7 and give him no reste till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praisef of the earth.
