Isaiah 59:19-60:1

New International Version

¹⁹From the west,^(A) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,^(B) they will revere his glory.^(C)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath^(D) of the Lord drives along.^[a]

²⁰“The Redeemer^(E) will come to Zion,^(F)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”^(G)
declares the Lord.

²¹“As for me, this is my covenant^(H) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,^(I) who is on you, will not depart from you,^(J) and my words that I have put in your mouth^(K) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

The Glory of Zion

60 “Arise,^(L) shine, for your light^(M) has come,
and the glory^(N) of the Lord rises upon you.

Isaiah 62:1-7

New International Version

Zion’s New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,^(A)
    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication^(B) shines out like the dawn,^(C)
    her salvation^(D) like a blazing torch.
²The nations^(E) will see your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name^(F)
    that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
³You will be a crown^(G) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
⁴No longer will they call you Deserted,^(H)
    or name your land Desolate.^(I)
But you will be called Hephzibah,^[a]^(J)
    and your land Beulah^[b];
for the Lord will take delight^(K) in you,
    and your land will be married.^(L)
⁵As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom^(M) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice^(N) over you.

⁶I have posted watchmen^(O) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,^(P)
⁷and give him no rest^(Q) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise^(R) of the earth.
