Isaiah 62:1-5

New International Reader's Version

62 The Lord says, “For the good of Zion I will not keep silent.
    For Jerusalem’s benefit I will not remain quiet.
I will not keep silent until what I will do for them
    shines like the sunrise.
I will not remain quiet until they are saved
    and shine like a blazing torch.
² Jerusalem, the nations will see
    that I have made everything right for you.
    All their kings will see your glory.
You will be called by a new name.
    I myself will give it to you.
³ You will be like a glorious crown in my strong hand.
    You will be like a royal crown in my powerful hand.
⁴ People will not call you Deserted anymore.
    They will no longer name your land Empty.
Instead, you will be called One the Lord Delights In.
    Your land will be named Married One.
That’s because the Lord will take delight in you.
    And your land will be married.
⁵ As a young man marries a young woman,
    so your Builder will marry you.
As a groom is happy with his bride,
    so your God will be full of joy over you.”
