62:1 For Zion's sake I will not hold my
peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go
forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.
62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and
one shall call thee [by] a new name, which Yehovah shall name.
62:3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yehovah, and a
royal diadem in the hand of thy Elohim.
62:4 And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more
be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land
Inhabited: for Yehovah has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be
inhabited.
62:5 And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in
[thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a
bride, so will Yehovah rejoice over thee.
62:6 And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all
night, who shall never cease making mention of Yehovah.
62:7 For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made
Jerusalem a praise on the earth.
62:8 For Yehovah has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I
will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall
strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.
62:9 But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise
Yehovah; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my
holy courts.
62:10 Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones
out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.
62:11 For behold, Yehovah has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to
the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his
reward and his work before his face.
62:12 And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of Yehovah: and
thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken. |
62:1 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.
62:2 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 Yehovah shall
name.
62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yehovah, and a
royal diadem in the hand of thy Elohim.
62:4 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 Yehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
62:5 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 Elohim rejoice over
thee.
62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold
their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of Yehovah, keep not
silence,
62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a
praise in the earth.
62:8 Yehovah 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:
62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise Yehovah; and
they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my
holiness.
62:10 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.
62:11 Behold, Yehovah 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.
62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Yehovah:
and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. |
