Isaiah 62 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Zion’s Glory and New Name

Isa 62:1

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,

Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,

And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

Isa 62:2

The nations will see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory;

And you will be called by a new name

Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.

Isa 62:3

You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,

And a royal headband in the hand of your God.

Isa 62:4

It will no longer be said to you, “[fn]Forsaken,”

Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “[fn]Desolate”;

But you will be called, “[fn]My delight is in her,”

And your land, “[fn]Married”;

For the LORD delights in you,

And to Him your land will be married.

Isa 62:5

For as a young man marries a virgin,

So your sons will marry you;

And as the [fn]groom rejoices over the bride,

So your God will rejoice over you.

Isa 62:6

On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;

All day and all night they will never keep silent.

You who profess the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

Isa 62:7

And give Him no rest until He establishes

And makes Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.

Isa 62:8

The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:

“I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies,

Nor will [fn]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

Isa 62:9

But those who harvest it will eat it and praise the LORD;

And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

Isa 62:10

Go through, go through the gates,

Clear a way [fn]for the people!

Build up, build up the highway,

Remove the stones, lift up a flag over the peoples.

Isa 62:11

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth:

Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation is coming;

Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”

Isa 62:12

And they will call them, “The holy people,

The redeemed of the LORD”;

And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City Not Abandoned.”
