Isaiah 61:10-62:9
New International Version
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(A) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(B)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(C) like a priest,
and as a bride(D) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(E) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(F)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Zion’s New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(G)
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(H) shines out like the dawn,(I)
her salvation(J) like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(K) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(L)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(M) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(N)
or name your land Desolate.(O)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](P)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(Q) in you,
and your land will be married.(R)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(S) rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(T) over you.
6 I have posted watchmen(U) on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,(V)
7 and give him no rest(W) till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise(X) of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn(Y) by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(Z)
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat(AA) it
and praise the Lord,(AB)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”(AC)
