Isaiah 62:1-7 ▼

1 I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch.

2 Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be given a new name that the LORD’s mouth will announce.

3 You will be a glorious crown in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand.

4 You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a groom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

6 Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. There is no rest for you, who remind the LORD.

7 Do not give him rest until he establishes and makes Jerusalem the praise of the earth.
