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 shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.

2 The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh’s mouth will name.

3 You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh, take no rest,

7 and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
