| Chapter 62
|
1 | For Zion's sake
will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the
righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a
lamp that burneth. |
2 |
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and
thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
|
3 | Thou shalt also
be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of
thy God. |
4 | Thou
shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed
Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. |
5 | For as a young man marrieth a
virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the
bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. |
6 | I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the
LORD, keep not silence, |
7
| And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem
a praise in the earth. |
8 |
The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons
of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
|
9 | But they that
have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought
it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. |
10 | Go through, go through the gates;
prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the
stones; lift up a standard for the people. |
11 | Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end
of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. |
12 | And they shall call them, The
holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A
city not forsaken. |
