Isaiah 62:1-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out like the dawn
    and her salvation like a burning torch.^(A)
2 The nations shall see your vindication
    and all the kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.^(B)
3 You shall be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.^(C)
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her
    and your land Married,
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.^(D)
5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so shall your builder^[a] marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.^(E)
6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have posted sentinels;
all day and all night
    they shall never be silent.
You who remind the Lord,
    take no rest,^(F)
7 and give him no rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes it renowned throughout the earth.^(G)
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 the wine
    for which you have labored,^(H)
9 but those who harvest it shall eat it
    and praise the Lord,
and those who gather it shall drink it
    in my holy courts.^(I)
