Isaiah 62:1-7

English Standard Version

Zion's Coming Salvation

62 ^(A)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
^(B)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
²^(C)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
^(D)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
³You shall be ^(E)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
⁴^(F)You shall no more be termed ^(G)Forsaken,^[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,^[b]
^(H)but you shall be called ^(I)My Delight Is in Her,^[c]
    and your land Married;^[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so ^(J)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so ^(K)shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶On your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have set ^(L)watchmen;
all the day and all the night
    they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
    take no rest,
⁷and give him no rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes it ^(M)a praise in the earth.
