NASB Bible

Isaiah 62

Zion's Glory and New Name

1

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her  arighteousness goes forth like brightness, And her  bsalvation like a torch that is burning.

2

The  anations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new  bname Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.

3

You will also be a  acrown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, And a royal  1diadem in the hand of your God.

4

It will no longer be said to you, " 1 aForsaken," Nor to your land will it any longer be said, " 2Desolate"; But you will be called, " 3My delight is in her," And your land, " 4 bMarried"; For the  cLORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.

5

For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the  1bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your  aGod will rejoice over you.

6

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed  awatchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who  bremind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

7

And  agive Him no rest until He establishes And makes  bJerusalem a praise in the earth.

8

 aThe LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, "I will  bnever again give your grain as food for your enemies; Nor will  1foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored."

9

But those who  agarner it will eat it and praise the LORD; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10

Go through,  ago through the gates, Clear the way  1for the people;  bBuild up, build up the  chighway, Remove the stones, lift up a  dstandard over the peoples.

11

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the  aend of the earth,  bSay to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your  csalvation comes;  dBehold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him."

12

And they will call them, " aThe holy people, The  bredeemed of the LORD"; And you will be called, "Sought out, a city  cnot forsaken."
