Zion’s New Name
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 the LORD shall name.
62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the
LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
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 the LORD
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 God 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 the LORD, 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 The LORD 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 the LORD; 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, the LORD 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 the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out,
A city not forsaken. |
