For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace
, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest
, until the righteousness
thereof go forth
as brightness
, and the salvation
thereof as a lamp
that burneth
.
And the Gentiles shall see
thy righteousness
, and all kings
thy glory
: and thou shalt be called
by a new
name
, which the mouth
of the LORD
shall name
.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory
in the hand
of the LORD
, and a royal
diadem
in the hand
of thy God
.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken
; neither shall thy land
any more be termed
Desolate
: but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah
, and thy land
Beulah
: for the LORD
delighteth
in thee, and thy land
shall be married
.
For as a young man marrieth
a virgin
, so shall thy sons
marry
thee: and as the bridegroom
rejoiceth
over the bride
, so shall thy God
rejoice
over thee.
I have set watchmen
upon thy walls
, O Jerusalem
, which shall never
hold their peace
day
nor night
: ye that make mention
of the LORD
, keep not silence
,
And give him no rest
, till he establish
, and till he make
Jerusalem
a praise
in the earth
.
The LORD hath sworn
by his right hand
, and by the arm
of his strength
, Surely I will
no more give
thy corn
to be meat
for thine enemies
; and the sons
of the stranger
shall not drink
thy wine
, for the which thou hast laboured
:
But they that have gathered it shall eat
it, and praise
the LORD
; and they that have brought it together
shall drink
it in the courts
of my holiness
.
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
a standard
for the people
.
Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed
unto the end
of the world
, Say
ye to the daughter
of Zion
, Behold, thy salvation
cometh
; behold, his reward
is with him, and his work
before
him.
And they shall call them, The holy
people
, The redeemed
of the LORD
: and thou shalt be called
, Sought out
, A city
not forsaken
.
