# Isaiah 62
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. For Zions sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalems sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest,
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. The LORD has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored;
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; lift up a signal over the peoples.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.”
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
