BSB ISA Chapter 62

Zion’s Salvation and New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

3 You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

4 No longer will you be called Forsaken,[fn] nor your land named Desolate;[fn] but you will be called Hephzibah,[fn] and your land Beulah;[fn] for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,

7 nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.

8 The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.

9 For those who harvest [grain] will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather [grapes] will drink the wine in My holy courts.”

10 Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!

11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”

12 And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
