| 62 | Isaiah | ||
| 1 | For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her vindication goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. | ||
| 2 | The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name which the mouth of Yahweh will give. | ||
| 3 | You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. | ||
| 4 | You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My delight is in her, and your land Married; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married. | ||
| 5 | For 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. | ||
| 6 | Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put Yahweh in remembrance, take no rest, | ||
| 7 | and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth. | ||
| 8 | Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: "I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have laboured; | ||
| 9 | but those who garner it shall eat it and praise Yahweh, and those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary." | ||
| 10 | Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones, lift up an ensign over the peoples. | ||
| 11 | Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, "Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him." | ||
| 12 | And they shall be called The holy people, The redeemed of Yahweh; and you shall be called Sought out, a city not forsaken. | ||
