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. |
