Isaiah 62
New King James Version

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not^[a]hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lampthatburns.
²^(A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all^(B)kings your glory.
^(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of theLordwill name.
³You shall also be^(D)a crown of glory
In the hand of theLord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
⁴^(E)You shall no longer be termed^(F)Forsaken,^[b]
Nor shall your land any more be termed^(G)Desolate;^[c]
But you shall be called^[d]Hephzibah, and your land^[e]Beulah;
For theLorddelights in you,
And your land shall be married.
⁵Forasa young man marries a virgin,
Soshall your sons marry you;
Andasthe bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
^(H)Soshall your God rejoice over you.

⁶^(I)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall^[f]never hold their peace day or night.
You who^[g]make mention of theLord, do not keep silent,
⁷And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem^(J)a praise in the earth.

⁸TheLordhas sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer^(K)give your grain
Asfood for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
⁹But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise theLord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it^(L)in My holy courts.”

¹⁰Go through,
Go through the gates!
^(M)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
^(N)Lift up a banner for the peoples!

¹¹Indeed theLordhas proclaimed
To the end of the world:
^(O)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His^(P)rewardiswith Him,
And His^[h]work before Him.’ ”
¹²And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of theLord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
