LEB - Isaiah - 62

62:1  For the sake of Zion I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude, until her righteousness goes out like the bright light, and her salvation burns like a torch.

62:2  And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and ⌞you will be called⌟ a new name that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

62:3  And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.

62:4  It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,” and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!” but ⌞you will⌟ be called “My Delight Is In Her,” and your land, “Married,” for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married.

62:5  For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

62:6  I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who profess Yahweh have no rest.

62:7  And you must not give him rest until he establishes, and until he ⌞makes⌟ Jerusalem ⌞an object of praise⌟ in the earth.

62:8  Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by ⌞his mighty arm⌟, “Surely I will never again give your grain as food to ⌞your enemies⌟, and surely ⌞foreigners⌟ shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”

62:9  But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh, and those who gather it shall drink it in ⌞my holy courts⌟.

62:10  Pass through, pass through the gates! Make the way clear ⌞for⌟ the people! Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones! Lift up an ensign over the peoples!

62:11  Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his reward before him.

62:12  And they shall call them “The ⌞Holy People⌟, The Redeemed Of Yahweh,” and ⌞you⌟ shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”
