62:1 I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch.
62:2 Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be called by a new name that the LORD's mouth will announce.
62:3 You will be a glorious crown in the LORD's hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
62:4 You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
62:5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a groom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
62:6 Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. There is no rest for you, who remind the LORD.
62:7 Do not give Him rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem the praise of the earth.
62:8 The LORD has sworn with His right hand and His strong arm: I will no longer give your grain to your enemies for food, and foreigners will not drink your new wine you have labored for.
62:9 For those who gather grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.
62:10 Go out, go out through the gates; prepare a way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones! Raise a banner for the peoples.
62:11 Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth," Say to Daughter Zion: Look, your salvation is coming, His reward is with Him, and His gifts accompany Him."
62:12 And they will be called the Holy People, the LORD's Redeemed; and you will be called Cared For, A City Not Deserted.
