Isaiah 62:8-12

New Living Translation

⁸ The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength:
    “I will never again hand you over to your enemies.
Never again will foreign warriors come
    and take away your grain and new wine.
⁹ You raised the grain, and you will eat it,
    praising the Lord.
Within the courtyards of the Temple,
    you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed.”

¹⁰ Go out through the gates!
    Prepare the highway for my people to return!
Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders;
    raise a flag for all the nations to see.
¹¹ The Lord has sent this message to every land:
    “Tell the people of Israel,^[a]
‘Look, your Savior is coming.
    See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.’”
¹² They will be called “The Holy People”
    and “The People Redeemed by the Lord.”
And Jerusalem will be known as “The Desirable Place”
    and “The City No Longer Forsaken.”
