ISA 62

1 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like the brightness, and her salvation burns bright like a torch.
10 Pass through, Pass through the gates! Turn out the way for the people; build up, build up the highway; clear out the rocks of stone; raise a banner for the nations!
11 Behold, YHWH has made [it] heard to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion: Behold, your salvation is coming; behold, His reward [is] with Him and His recompense before His face!”
12 And they will call them “The Holy People”, “The Redeemed of YHWH”; and you will be called, “Sought Out, a City not Forsaken”.
2 And the nations will see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory; and you will be called a new name, which the mouth of YHWH will designate.
3 And you will be a crown of glory in the hand of YHWH, and a turban of kingship in the hand of your God.
4 It is not said of you any longer “Azubah”, and of your land it will not be said anymore “Shemamah”; but you will be called “Hephzibah”, and your land “Beulah.” For YHWH delights in you, and your land will be married.
5 For [as] a young man marries a virgin, your sons will marry you; and [as] the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, your God will rejoice over you.
6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all the day and all the night, continually, they will not be silent. You⁺ [who] remember YHWH, no rest [is] unto you⁺;
7 and you⁺ will not give rest to Him, until He establishes and until He makes Jerusalem the praise of the earth.
8 YHWH has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: “Your grain I will give no more [as] food for your enemies, and the sons of the foreigner will not drink your new wine, which you have toiled over it!
9 For those who have gathered it will eat it and praise YHWH, and those harvesting will drink in My holy courts!”
