Chapter 62 |
| 1 | For Zion's
sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until
the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as
a lamp that burneth. |
| 2 | And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness,
and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the
mouth of the LORD shall name. |
|
3 | Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in
the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. |
| 4 |
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be
termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for
the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. |
| 5 | For as a
young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the
bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
|
| 6 | I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold
their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not
silence, |
| 7
| And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth. |
| 8 | The LORD hath sworn by his
right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn
to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy
wine, for the which thou hast laboured: |
|
9 | But they that have gathered
it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together
shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. |
|
10 | Go through, go through
the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway;
gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. |
| 11 | Behold,
the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of
Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his
work before him. |
|
12 | And they shall call them, The holy people, The
redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not
forsaken. |
