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
.
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
.
You will also be a acrown of beauty
in the hand
of the LORD
, And a royal
1diadem
in the hand
of your God
.
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
.
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.
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;
And agive Him no
rest
until
He establishes
And makes
bJerusalem
a praise
in the earth
.
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
."
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
.
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
.
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."
And they will call them, " aThe holy
people
, The bredeemed
of the LORD
"; And you will be called
, "Sought
out, a city
cnot forsaken
."
