Isaiah 62:1-7 ▼

1 FOR Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until her righteousness shall go forth as light and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name which the mouth of the LORD shall bestow upon you.

3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 You shall no more be called Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight, and your land shall be cultivated; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall have husbandmen.

5 For as a young man husbands a virgin, so shall your sons husband you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

6 I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, every day, who shall not hold their peace day or night continually; so that those who make mention of the LORD may not keep silence, nor be still,

7 And give you no rest, until I, the Lord, establish you and until I make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
