Isaiah 62:1–7

¹For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still,

until her righteousness shines like a bright light,

her salvation like a blazing torch.

²Nations will see your righteousness,

and all kings your glory.

You will be called by a new name

that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

³You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,

a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

⁴No longer will you be called Forsaken,^a

nor your land named Desolate;^b

but you will be called Hephzibah,^c

and your land Beulah;^d

for the LORD will take delight in you,

and your land will be His bride.

⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,

so your sons will marry you;

and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

⁶On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen;

they will never be silent day or night.

You who call on the LORD

shall take no rest for yourselves,

⁷nor give Him any rest

until He establishes Jerusalem

and makes her the praise of the earth.
