Isaiah 62 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

Assurance of Jerusalem’s Deliverance

Isa 62:1For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

Isa 62:2

Isa 62:2The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory.
You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the LORD will name.

Isa 62:3

Isa 62:3You shall also be a crown of glory
In the hand of the LORD,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.

Isa 62:4

Isa 62:4You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;
But you shall be called Hephzibah,[fn] and your land Beulah;[fn]
For the LORD delights in you,
And your land shall be married.

Isa 62:5

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

Isa 62:6

Isa 62:6I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,

Isa 62:7

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

Isa 62:8

Isa 62:8The LORD has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.

Isa 62:9

Isa 62:9But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the LORD;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.”

Isa 62:10

Isa 62:10Go through,
Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the peoples!

Isa 62:11

Isa 62:11Indeed the LORD has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His reward is with Him,
And His work before Him.’ ”

Isa 62:12

Isa 62:12And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the LORD;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
