Isaiah 62 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Zion's Glory and New Name

Isa 62:1For 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

Isa 62:2The 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

Isa 62:3You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
And a royal [fn]diadem in the hand of your God.

Isa 62:4

Isa 62:4It 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

Isa 62:5For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the [fn]bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you.

Isa 62:6

Isa 62:6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

Isa 62:7

Isa 62:7And give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Isa 62:8

Isa 62:8The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong 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

Isa 62:9But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

Isa 62:10

Isa 62:10Go through, go through the gates,
Clear the way [fn]for the people;
Build up, build up the highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.

Isa 62:11

Isa 62:11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes;
Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”

Isa 62:12

Isa 62:12And they will call them, “The holy people,
The redeemed of the LORD”;
And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”
