Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.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.
[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.
[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.
[4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall
thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.
[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.
[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,
[7] And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he
make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
[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:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
