Isaiah 62
Revised Webster's Bible
1For Zion’sH6726 sake I will not hold my peaceH2814, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sake I will not restH8252, until its righteousnessH6664 shall go forthH3318 as brightnessH5051, and its salvationH3444 as a lampH3940 that burnethH1197. 2And the GentilesH1471 shall seeH7200 thy righteousnessH6664, and all kingsH4428 thy gloryH3519: and thou shalt be calledH7121 by a newH2319 nameH5344, which the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 shall nameH8034. 3Thou shalt also be a crownH5850 of gloryH8597 in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, and a royalH4410 diademH6797 in the handH3709 of thy GodH430. 4Thou shalt no more be termedH559 ForsakenH5800; neither shall thy landH776 any more be termedH559 DesolateH8077: but thou shalt be calledH7121 HephzibahH2657, and thy landH776 BeulahH1166: for the LORDH3068 delightethH2654 in thee, and thy landH776 shall be marriedH1166.12 5For as a young manH970 marriethH1166 a virginH1330, so shall thy sonsH1121 marryH1166 thee: and as the bridegroomH2860 rejoicethH4885 over the brideH3618, so shall thy GodH430 rejoiceH7797 over thee.3
6I have setH6485 watchmenH8104 upon thy wallsH2346, O JerusalemH3389, which shall neverH8548 hold their peaceH2814 dayH3117 nor nightH3915: ye that make mentionH2142 of the LORDH3068, keep not silenceH1824,4 7And giveH5414 him no restH1824, till he shall establishH3559, and till he shall makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a praiseH8416 in the earthH776.5 8The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by his right handH3225, and by the armH2220 of his strengthH5797, Surely I willH518 no more giveH5414 thy grainH1715 to be foodH3978 for thy enemiesH341; and the sonsH1121 of the foreignerH5236 shall not drinkH8354 thy wineH8492, for which thou hast labouredH3021:6 9But they that have gatheredH622 it shall eatH398 it, and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068; and they that have brought it togetherH6908 shall drinkH8354 it in the courtsH2691 of my holinessH6944.
10Go throughH5674, go throughH5674 the gatesH8179; prepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the peopleH5971; cast upH5549, cast upH5549 the highwayH4546; gather outH5619 the stonesH68; lift upH7311 a standardH5251 for the peopleH5971. 11Behold, the LORDH3068 hath proclaimedH8085 to the endH7097 of the worldH776, SayH559 ye to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Behold, thy salvationH3468 comethH935; behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him.7 12And they shall callH7121 them, The holyH6944 peopleH5971, The redeemedH1350 of the LORDH3068: and thou shalt be calledH7121, Sought outH1875, A cityH5892 not forsakenH5800.
