Isaiah 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.

For Sion'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.

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 Yhwh shall name.

And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and kings your glory: and one shall call you [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yhwh, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your 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 Yhwh delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

And you shall no more be called Forsaken; and your land shall no more be called Desert: for you shall be called My Pleasure, and your land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in you, and your land shall be inhabited.

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.

And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall your sons dwell in [you]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice over you.

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of Yhwh, keep not silence,

And on your walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth.

8 Yhwh hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give your corn and your provisions to your enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink your wine, for which you has laboured.

9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise Yhwh; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my holy courts.

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.

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.

11 Behold, Yhwh 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.

For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say you to the daughter of Sion, Behold, your Saviour has come to you, having his reward and his work before his face.

12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Yhwh: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and you shall be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.
