62 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,
    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
    and her salvation like a burning lamp.
The nations will see your righteousness,
    and all kings your glory.
You will be called by a new name,
    which Yahweh’s mouth will name.
You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand,
    and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
You will not be called Forsaken any more,
    nor will your land be called Desolate any more;
but you will be called Hephzibah,[a]
    and your land Beulah;[b]
for Yahweh delights in you,
    and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
    so your God will rejoice over you.
