Isaiah chapter 62

For Zion’s sake I will not stay silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest— not until her blazes like the dawn and her burns like a torch in the night.The nations will see your vindication, every king will witness your — and you will be called by a new name, one that Yahweh himself will speak over you.You will be a in Yahweh’s hand, a held high by your God.No one will call you ‘’ anymore, no one will say your land is ‘Desolate.’ Instead, you’ll be called ‘’ and your land ‘’— because Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be wed again.Like a young man marries a young woman, will marry you. Like a groom’s joy over his bride, your God will over you.On your walls, Jerusalem, I have stationed — all day and all night, without stopping, they will never be silent. You who call on Yahweh, give yourselves no rest.And give him no rest either— not until he establishes Jerusalem, not until he makes her the of the whole earth.Yahweh has by his , by his mighty arm: ‘Never again will I hand over your grain to your enemies. Never again will foreigners drink the wine you worked so hard for.’No, those who harvest the grain will eat it and praise Yahweh. Those who gather the grapes will drink the wine in .Go through, go through the gates! Clear the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Clear away the stones. Raise a for the nations.Look—Yahweh has made an announcement to the ends of the earth: Tell , ‘Look! Your is coming! His reward is with him, and his recompense goes ahead of him.’And they will call them ‘,’ ‘.’ And you will be called ‘,’ ‘A City Never Abandoned Again.’
