Isaiah 62 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Zion’s Restoration
Isa 62:1

I will not keep silent because of Zion,

and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,

until her righteousness shines like a bright light

and her salvation, like a flaming torch.

Isa 62:2

Nations will see your righteousness

and all kings, your glory.

You will be given a new name

that the LORD’s mouth will announce.

Isa 62:3

You will be a glorious crown in the LORD’s hand,

and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand.

Isa 62:4

You will no longer be called Deserted,

and your land will not be called Desolate;

instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her,[fn]

and your land Married;[fn]

for the LORD delights in you,

and your land will be married.

Isa 62:5

For as a young man marries a young woman,

so your sons will marry you;

and as a groom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

Isa 62:6

Jerusalem,

I have appointed watchmen on your walls;

they will never be silent, day or night.

There is no rest for you,

who remind the LORD.

Isa 62:7

Do not give him rest

until he establishes and makes Jerusalem

the praise of the earth.

Isa 62:8

The LORD has sworn with his right hand

and his strong arm:

I will no longer give your grain

to your enemies for food,

and foreigners will not drink the new wine

for which you have labored.

Isa 62:9

For those who gather grain will eat it

and praise the LORD,

and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine

in my holy courts.

Isa 62:10

Go out, go out through the city gates;

prepare a way for the people!

Build it up, build up the highway;

clear away the stones!

Raise a banner for the peoples.

Isa 62:11

Look, the LORD has proclaimed

to the ends of the earth,

“Say to Daughter Zion:

Look, your salvation is coming,

his wages are with him,

and his reward accompanies him.”

Isa 62:12

And they will be called[fn] the Holy People,

the LORD’s Redeemed;

and you will be called Cared For,

A City Not Deserted.
