Isaiah 62  Lexham English Bible

62 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,
    and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude,
until her righteousness goes out like the bright light,
    and her salvation burns like a torch.
² And the nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
and you will be called^[a] a new name
    that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
³ And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,
    and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.
⁴ It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,”
    and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”
but you will^[b] be called “My Delight Is In Her,”
    and your land, “Married,”
for Yahweh delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
⁵ For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so shall your sons marry you,
and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.
⁶ I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem;
    all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
⁷     And you must not give him rest until he establishes,
        and until he makes^[c] Jerusalem an object of praise^[d] in the earth.
⁸ Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
    and by his mighty arm,^[e]
“Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,^[f]
    and surely foreigners^[g] shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
⁹ But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh,
    and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.^[h]
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
    Make the way clear for^[i] the people!
Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones!^[j]
    Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
