Isaiah 62

Zion’s New Name

62For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,^o

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,

till her vindication^p shines out like the dawn,^q

her salvation^r like a blazing torch.

²The nations^s will see your vindication,

and all kings your glory;

you will be called by a new name^t

that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

³You will be a crown^u of splendor in the Lord’s hand,

a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

⁴No longer will they call you Deserted,^v

or name your land Desolate.^w

But you will be called Hephzibah,^ax

and your land Beulah^b;

for the Lord will take delight^y in you,

and your land will be married.^z

⁵As a young man marries a young woman,

so will your Builder marry you;

as a bridegroom^a rejoices over his bride,

so will your God rejoice^b over you.

⁶I have posted watchmen^c on your walls, Jerusalem;

they will never be silent day or night.

You who call on the Lord,

give yourselves no rest,^d

⁷and give him no rest^e till he establishes Jerusalem

and makes her the praise^f of the earth.

⁸The Lord has sworn^g by his right hand

and by his mighty arm:

“Never again will I give your grain^h

as food for your enemies,

and never again will foreigners drink the new wine

for which you have toiled;

⁹but those who harvest it will eatⁱ it

and praise the Lord,^j

and those who gather the grapes will drink it

in the courts of my sanctuary.”^k

¹⁰Pass through, pass through the gates!^l

Prepare the way for the people.

Build up, build up the highway!^m

Remove the stones.

Raise a bannerⁿ for the nations.

¹¹The Lord has made proclamation

to the ends of the earth:^o

“Say to Daughter Zion,^p

‘See, your Savior comes!^q

See, his reward is with him,

and his recompense accompanies him.’ ”^r

¹²They will be called^s the Holy People,^t

the Redeemed^u of the Lord;

and you will be called Sought After,

the City No Longer Deserted.^v
