Isaiah 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 Heph'zibah, 3 and
thy land Beulah: 4 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
labored:
|
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. Is. 40.10 · Rev. 22.12
|
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.
