ULT ISA Chapter 62

◄ ISA 62 ► ║ ═ ©

62 For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent,

and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not be quiet,

until its righteousness goes forth like brightness

and its salvation burns like a torch.

2 And the nations will see your righteousness,

and all of the kings, your glory,

and one will call to you a new name

that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

3 And you will be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,

and a turban of kingship in the palm of your God.

4 It will no longer be said of you, “Abandoned,”

and of your land, it will no longer be said, “Devastation,”

for it will be called to you, “My Delight is in Her,”

and to your land, “Married,”

for Yahweh delights in you,

and your land will be married.

5 For a young man marries a young woman;

your sons will marry you.

And the rejoicing of a bridegroom over a bride,

your God will rejoice over you.

6 I have appointed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;

All of the day and all of the night,

continually, they will not be silent.

Ones reminding Yahweh,

may there not be quiet to you,

7 and do not give quiet to him,

until he establishes

and until he makes Jerusalem

a praise in the earth.

8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand

and by the arm of his strength,

“If I should give your grain anymore

as food to your enemies,

and if the sons of foreignness should drink your new wine,

for which you have labored!

9 For its collectors will eat it

and praise Yahweh,

and its gatherers will drink it

in the courts of my holiness.”

10 Pass through, pass through the gates!

Prepare the way of the people!

Build up, build up the highway!

Clear it from stone!

Raise a banner for the peoples!

11 Behold, Yahweh has made it heard to the end of the earth:

“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Behold, your salvation is coming!

Behold, his wage is with him,

and his reward is to his face.’ ”

12 And they will call to them, “The People of Holiness,”

“The Redeemed of Yahweh,”

and to you it will be called, “Sought After,”

“A City Not Abandoned.”
