1

For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

2

And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.

3

Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called 1 Hephzi-bah, and thy land 2 Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 1) That is My delight is in her 2) That is Married

5

For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and 1 as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. 1) Heb with the joy of the bridegroom

6

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah's remembrancers, 1 take ye no rest, 1) Or keep not silence

7

and give him no 1 rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 1) Heb silence

8

9

but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

10

Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign 1 for the peoples. 1) Or over

11

Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his 1 recompense before him. 1) Or work

12

And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
