Isaiah 62

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62For 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.

^2aThe 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.

³You shall also be ^da crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

^4eYou 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.

⁵For 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.

⁶ⁱI have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;

They shall ⁶never hold their peace day or night.

You who ⁷make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,

⁷And give Him no rest till He establishes

And till He makes Jerusalem ^ja praise in the earth.

⁸The Lord has sworn by His right hand

And by the arm of His strength:

“Surely I will no longer ^kgive your grain

As food for your enemies;

And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,

For which you have labored.

⁹But those who have gathered it shall eat it,

And praise the Lord;

Those who have brought it together shall drink it ^lin My holy courts.”

¹⁰Go through,

Go through the gates!

^mPrepare the way for the people;

Build up,

Build up the highway!

Take out the stones,

ⁿLift up a banner for the peoples!

¹¹Indeed the Lord has proclaimed

To the end of the world:

^o“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Surely your salvation is coming;

Behold, His ^preward is with Him,

And His ⁸work before Him.’ ”

¹²And they shall call them The Holy People,

The Redeemed of the Lord;

And you shall be called Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.
