Isaiah 62:4-12

English Standard Version

⁴^(A)You shall no more be termed ^(B)Forsaken,^[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,^[b]
^(C)but you shall be called ^(D)My Delight Is in Her,^[c]
    and your land Married;^[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so ^(E)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so ^(F)shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶On your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have set ^(G)watchmen;
all the day and all the night
    they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
    take no rest,
⁷and give him no rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes it ^(H)a praise in the earth.
⁸The Lord has sworn ^(I)by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“I will not again give ^(J)your grain
    to be food for your enemies,
^(K)and foreigners shall not drink your wine
    for which you have labored;
⁹but ^(L)those who garner it shall eat it
    and praise the Lord,
and ^(M)those who gather it shall drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”^[e]

¹⁰Go through, go through the gates;
    ^(N)prepare the way for the people;
^(O)build up, build up the highway;
    clear it of stones;
    ^(P)lift up a signal over the peoples.
¹¹Behold, the Lord has proclaimed
    to the end of the earth:
^(Q)Say to the daughter of Zion,
    ^(R)“Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense before him.”
¹²^(S)And they shall be called The Holy People,
    The Redeemed of the Lord;
^(T)and you shall be called Sought Out,
    A City Not Forsaken.
