Isaiah 62

English Standard Version (ESV)

Switch Version:

¹ ⓐ For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, ⓑuntil her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.

² ⓒ The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, ⓓand you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give.

³ You shall beⓔ a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

⁴ ⓕ You shall no more be termedⓖ Forsaken,[1] and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[2] ⓗbut you shall be calledⓘ My Delight Is in Her,[3] and your land Married;[4] for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.

⁵ For as a young man marries a young woman, soⓙ shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, soⓚ shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶ On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have setⓛ watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest,

⁷ and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes itⓜ a praise in the earth.

⁸ The LORD has swornⓝ by his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will not again giveⓞ your grain to be food for your enemies, ⓟand foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored;

⁹ butⓠ those who garner it shall eat it and praise the LORD, andⓡ those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”[5]

¹⁰ Go through, go through the gates; ⓢprepare the way for the people; ⓣbuild up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; ⓤlift up a signal over 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 ⓧ And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; ⓨand you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
