Isaiah 62

Zion’s New Name

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

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,

till her vindication^b shines out like the dawn,^c

her salvation^d like a blazing torch.

The nations^e will see your vindication,

and all kings your glory;

you will be called by a new name^f

that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

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

a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

No longer will they call you Deserted,^h

or name your land Desolate.ⁱ

But you will be called Hephzibah,^j

and your land Beulah;

for the Lord will take delight^k in you,

and your land will be married.^l

As a young man marries a young woman,

so will your Builder marry you;

as a bridegroom^m rejoices over his bride,

so will your God rejoiceⁿ over you.

I have posted watchmen^o on your walls, Jerusalem;

they will never be silent day or night.

You who call on the Lord,

give yourselves no rest,^p

and give him no rest^q till he establishes Jerusalem

and makes her the praise^r of the earth.

The Lord has sworn^s by his right hand

and by his mighty arm:

“Never again will I give your grain^t

as food for your enemies,

and never again will foreigners drink the new wine

for which you have toiled;

but those who harvest it will eat^u it

and praise the Lord,^v

and those who gather the grapes will drink it

in the courts of my sanctuary.”^w

Pass through, pass through the gates!^x

Prepare the way for the people.

Build up, build up the highway!^yz

Remove the stones.

Raise a banner^a for the nations.

The Lord has made proclamation

to the ends of the earth:^b

“Say to Daughter Zion,^c

‘See, your Savior comes!^d

See, his reward is with him,

and his recompense accompanies him.’ ”^e

They will be called^f the Holy People,^g

the Redeemed^h of the Lord;

and you will be called Sought After,

the City No Longer Deserted.ⁱ
