WEBBE ISA Chapter 62

◄ ISA 62 ► ║ ©

62 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,

and her salvation like a burning lamp.

2 The nations will see your righteousness,

and all kings your glory.

You will be called by a new name,

which the LORD’s mouth will name.

3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand,

and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

4 You will not be called Forsaken any more,

nor will your land be called Desolate any more;

but you will be called Hephzibah,[fn]

and your land Beulah;[fn]

for the LORD delights in you,

and your land will be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

so your sons will marry you.

As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.

They will never be silent day nor night.

You who call on the LORD, take no rest,

7 and give him no rest until he establishes,

and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand,

and by the arm of his strength,

“Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies,

and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have laboured,

9 but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD.

Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

10 Go through, go through the gates!

Prepare the way of the people!

Build up, build up the highway!

Gather out the stones!

Lift up a banner for the peoples.

11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth:

“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Behold, your salvation comes!

Behold, his reward is with him,

and his recompense before him!’ ”

12 They will call them “The Holy People,

The LORD’s Redeemed”.

You will be called “Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken”.

62:4 Hephzibah means “I delight in her”.

62:4 Beulah means “married”
