isaiah 62
1 - For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace,and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,and her salvation like a burning lamp.
2 - The nations will see your righteousness,and all kings your glory,and you will be called by a new name,which The LORD's mouth will name.
3 - You will also be a crown of beauty in The LORD's hand,and a royal diadem in your God's hand.
4 - You will not be called Forsaken any more;nor will your land be called Desolate any more:but you will be called Hephzibah,and your land Beulah;for the LORD delights in you,and your land will be married.
5 - For as a young man marries a virgin,so your sons will marry you.As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,so your God will rejoice over you.
6 - I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.They will never be silent day nor night.You who call on The LORD, take no rest,
7 - and give him no rest, until he establishes,and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
and give him no rest, until he establishes,and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 - The LORD has sworn by his right hand,and by the arm of his strength,"Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies;and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored;
9 - but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise The LORD;and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
10 - Go through, go through the gates!Prepare the way of the people!Build up, build up the highway!Gather out the stones!Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 - Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,"Say to the daughter of Zion,'Behold, your salvation comes.Behold, his reward is with him,and his recompense before him.'"
12 - They will call them The holy people,The LORD's redeemed.You will be called Sought out,A city not forsaken.
