Isaiah 62

New American Standard Bible

Zion’s Glory and New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her ^(A)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her ^(B)salvation like a torch that is burning.
²The ^(C)nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new ^(D)name
Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.
³You will also be a ^(E)crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
And a royal headband in the hand of your God.
⁴It will no longer be said to you, “^[a]^(F)Forsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “^[b]Desolate”;
But you will be called, “^[c]My delight is in her,”
And your land, “^[d]^(G)Married”;
For the ^(H)Lord delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the ^[e]groom rejoices over the bride,
So your ^(I)God will rejoice over you.

⁶On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed ^(J)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who ^(K)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
⁷And ^(L)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes ^(M)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
⁸^(N)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will ^(O)never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will ^[f]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
⁹But those who ^(P)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

¹⁰Go through, ^(Q)go through the gates,
Clear a way ^[g]for the people!
^(R)Build up, build up the ^(S)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a ^(T)flag over the peoples.
¹¹Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the ^(U)end of the earth:
^(V)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your ^(W)salvation is coming;
^(X)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
¹²And they will call them, “^(Y)The holy people,
The ^(Z)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City ^(AA)Not Abandoned.”

Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked

14 The ^(A)wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
²One who ^(B)walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
But one who is ^(C)devious in his ways despises Him.
³In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his back,
But ^(D)the lips of the wise will protect them.
⁴Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean;
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.
⁵A ^(E)trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a ^(F)false witness ^(G)declares lies.
⁶A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy for one who has understanding.
⁷Leave the ^(H)presence of a fool,
Or you will not ^[a]discern ^[b]words of knowledge.

Peter’s Denials

⁶⁶^(A)And while Peter was below in ^(B)the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest *came, ⁶⁷and seeing Peter ^(C)warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You were with Jesus the ^(D)Nazarene as well.” ⁶⁸But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he ^(E)went out onto the ^[a]porch.^[b] ⁶⁹The slave woman saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them!” ⁷⁰But again ^(F)he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “You really are one of them, ^(G)for you are a Galilean as well.” ⁷¹But he began to ^[c]curse himself and to swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!” ⁷²And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before ^(H)a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And ^[d]he hurried on and began to weep.
