Isaiah 62:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

62 Because I love Zion,
    I will not be quiet.
I cannot stay quiet,
    because Jerusalem is in trouble.
I will continue to speak until she is safe again.
I want her righteousness to shine
    like the sun at dawn.
I want her salvation to be a bright light in the dark.
² Jerusalem, the nations will see your righteousness.
    All their kings will see how great you are.
People will call you by a new name,
    which the Lord himself will give to you.
³ The Lord your God will hold you in his hand,
    and you will bring him honour.
You will be like his beautiful crown!
