Context of Isaiah 62:2

1Because I love Zion, I will not be quiet. I cannot stay quiet, because Jerusalem is in trouble. I will continue to speak until she is safe again. I want her righteousness to shine like the sun at dawn. I want her salvation to be a bright light in the dark. Jerusalem, the nations will see your righteousness. All their kings will see how great you are. People will call you by a new name, which the Lord himself will give to you. 3The Lord your God will hold you in his hand, and you will bring him honour. You will be like his beautiful crown! 4They will no longer call you by the name ‘Alone’. They will not call your land ‘Empty place’. Instead, they will call you ‘The one that makes God happy’. The name of your land will be ‘Married’. Yes, the Lord will be very happy with you. Your land will be his bride.
