Isaiah 62

(CLV) Isaiah 62

1 On Zion's account, I will not hush, and on Jerusalem's account I will not be quiet, till its righteousness shall fare forth as brightness, and its salvation will consume as a torch. 2 And the nations see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you are called by a new name, which the mouth of Yahweh will specify. 3 And you become a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a royal turban in the palm of your Elohim. 4 And it will not be said of you any further, "Forsaken"; and of your land it will not be said any further, "Desolation". For He shall call you Hephzi-bah, and your land Beulah. For Yahweh is delighted with you, and your land is possessed. 5 For as possessing is a chosen man a virgin, possessing you are your sons. And as the elation of a bridegroom over the bride, so will Yahweh, your Elohim, be elated over you. 6 Over your walls, Jerusalem, I give the supervision to keepers. All the day and all the night, continually, they shall not hush reminding Yahweh. There must be no stillness for you! 7 And you must not give Him stillness till He shall make ready, and till He shall establish, and till He shall constitute Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 Sworn has Yahweh with His right hand, and with the arm of His strength, "Should I give your grain further as food for your enemies?! And should sons of foreigners drink your grape juice for which you labor?!" 9 For its gatherers shall eat it and praise the name of Yahweh. And those who get it together shall drink it in the courts of My holy place,says your Elohim. 10 Pass! Pass through the gates! Surface the way for My people! Heap up! Heap up the highway! Throw out the stones! Raise high the banner, say among the peoples. 11 Behold! Yahweh announces to the outmost part of the earth, say to the daughter of Zion, Behold! your Saviour is coming! Behold! His hire is with him, and His wage is before him. 12 And they call them, People of the Holy One, Redeemed of Yahweh. And you are called, City inquired for, not forsaken.
