Isaiah 62:4–12

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.

6 iI 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,

7 And give Him no rest till He establishes

And till He makes Jerusalem ja praise in the earth.

8 The 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.

9 But 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.”

10 Go 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!

11 Indeed 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.’ ”

12 And they shall call them The Holy People,

The Redeemed of the Lord;

And you shall be called Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.
