Isaiah 61:10–62:5

10 tI will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

My soul shall be joyful in my God;

For uHe has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

vAs a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,

As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,

So the Lord God will cause wrighteousness and xpraise to spring forth before all the nations.

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not 1hold My peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,

And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 aThe Gentiles shall see your righteousness,

And all bkings your glory.

cYou shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord will name.

3 You shall also be da crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

4 eYou shall no longer be termed fForsaken, 2

Nor shall your land any more be termed gDesolate; 3

But you shall be called 4Hephzibah, and your land 5Beulah;

For the Lord delights in you,

And your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

So shall your sons marry you;

And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

hSo shall your God rejoice over you.
