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.

62 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth. And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, 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 [a]Hephzi-bah, and thy land [b]Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and [c]as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
