62 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,
and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness,
and all kings thy glory:
and thou shalt be called by a new name,
which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:
but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah,
and thy land Beulah:
for the Lord delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin,
so shall thy sons marry thee:
and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
which shall never hold their peace day nor night:
ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,
and give him no rest, till he establish,
and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand,
and by the arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies;
and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine,
for the which thou hast laboured:
but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord;
and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10 Go through, go through the gates;
prepare ye the way of the people;
cast up, cast up the highway;
gather out the stones;
lift up a standard for the people.
11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them,
The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord:
and thou shalt be called,
Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not [a]hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
(A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all (B)kings your glory.
(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
You shall also be (D)a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
(E)You shall no longer be termed (F)Forsaken,[b]
Nor shall your land any more be termed (G)Desolate;[c]
But you shall be called [d]Hephzibah, and your land [e]Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
(H)So shall your God rejoice over you.

(I)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall [f]never hold their peace day or night.
You who [g]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (J)a praise in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (K)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (L)in My holy courts.”

10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
(M)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
(N)Lift up a banner for the peoples!

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
(O)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His (P)reward is with Him,
And His [h]work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.

The Salvation of Zion

62 For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent,
    and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness
    and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all kings your glory.
And you shall be called by a new name,
    which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    nor shall your land 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.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so your sons shall marry you;
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so your God shall rejoice over you.

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,
    who shall never hold their peace day nor night.
You who remind the Lord,
    do not keep silent;
give Him no rest until He establishes
    and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by His right hand
    and by His strong arm:
Surely I will no longer give your grain
    as food for your enemies;
and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your wine
    for which you have labored.
But those who have gathered it shall eat it
    and praise the Lord;
and those who have brought it shall drink it
    in the courts of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, go through the gates.
    Prepare the way of the people;
build up, build up the highway.
    Remove the stones;
lift up a standard over the peoples.

11 The Lord has proclaimed
    to the ends of the earth:
Say to the daughter of Zion,
    “See, your salvation comes;
see, His reward is with Him,
    and His recompense before Him.”
12 They shall call them The Holy People,
    the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you shall be called Sought Out,
    a City Not Forsaken.

62 Por causa de Sión y de Jerusalén no callaré ni descansaré, hasta que su justicia brille como la aurora y su salvación alumbre como una antorcha. Entonces las naciones verán tu justicia; todos los reyes contemplarán tu gloria. Entonces recibirás un nombre nuevo, que el Señor mismo te pondrá. En la mano del Señor serás una hermosa corona; en la mano de tu Dios serás una regia diadema. Nunca más volverán a llamarte «Desamparada», ni a tu tierra le dirán «Desolada». Más bien, serás llamada «Deleite mío»,[a] y tu tierra será llamada «Esposa mía»,[b] porque el amor del Señor estará en ti, y tu tierra volverá a tener esposo. Porque tus hijos se desposarán contigo, de la manera que un joven se desposa con una doncella; ¡tu Dios se recreará contigo como se recrea el esposo con la esposa!

Sobre tus murallas, Jerusalén, he puesto vigilantes que ni de día ni de noche guardarán silencio. Ustedes, los que invocan al Señor, no se den descanso ni tampoco lo dejen descansar, hasta que él restablezca a Jerusalén y la convierta en la alabanza de la tierra. El Señor ha jurado, por su mano derecha y por el poder de su brazo: «No volveré a alimentar a tus enemigos con tu trigo, ni gente extraña volverá a beber tu vino, fruto de tu trabajo. Quienes cosechen el trigo serán quienes lo coman, y alabarán al Señor. Quienes vendimien los viñedos, beberán el vino en los atrios de mi santuario.

10 ¡Pasen por las puertas de la ciudad!, ¡pasen por ellas! ¡Ábranle paso al pueblo! ¡Allanen el camino y quítenle las piedras! ¡Levanten la bandera sobre los pueblos! 11 ¡Oigan lo que el Señor ha dado a conocer hasta los extremos de la tierra! Digan a la hija de Sión: «¡Aquí viene tu Salvador! ¡Su recompensa lo acompaña! ¡Sus obras le anteceden!»(A) 12 Ellos serán llamados «Pueblo Santo», «Redimidos del Señor», y a ti te llamarán «Ciudad Deseada», y «No desamparada».
