Isaiah 62

Zion's New Name

1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes out like brightness and her salvation like a burning torch. 2The nations will see your righteousness and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give. 3You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4You will no more be termed Forsaken;
neither will your land any more be termed Desolate: but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.

5For as a young man marries a virgin, so will your sons marry you;
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you. 6I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never hold their peace day nor night: you who call on the LORD, take no rest, 7and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8The 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:

9but those who have garnered it will eat it, and praise the LORD;
and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary. 10Go through, go through the gates;
prepare you the way of the people;
cast up, cast up the highway;
gather out the stones;
lift up a banner for the peoples. 11Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say you to the daughter of Zion, Look, your salvation comes;
look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 12They will call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you will be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
