Isa 62 | ESV | STEP | For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent , and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet , until her righteousness goes forth as brightness , and her salvation as a burning torch .

1 ^aFor Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
^buntil her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 ^cThe nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
^dand you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the Lord will give.
3 You shall be ^ea crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 ^fYou shall no more be termed ^gForsaken, ^{▼▼Hebrew Azubah}
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, ^{▼▼Hebrew Shemamah}
^jbut you shall be called ^kMy Delight Is in Her, ^{▼▼Hebrew Hephzibah}
and your land Married; ^{▼▼Hebrew Beulah}
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
so ⁿshall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so ^oshall your God rejoice over you.
6 On your walls, O Jerusalem,
I have set ^pwatchmen;
all the day and all the night
they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
take no rest,
7 and give him no rest
until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it ^qa praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn ^rby his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“I will not again give ^syour grain
to be food for your enemies,
^tand foreigners shall not drink your wine
for which you have labored;
9 but ^uthose who garner it shall eat it
and praise the Lord,
and ^vthose who gather it shall drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.” ^{▼▼Or in my holy courts}
10 Go through, go through the gates;
^xprepare the way for the people;
^ybuild up, build up the highway;
clear it of stones;
^zlift up a signal over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed
to the end of the earth:
^aaSay to the daughter of Zion,
^ab“Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.”
12 ^acAnd they shall be called The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
^adand you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
