Isaiah 62

1 For Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns as a torch.

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 And nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.

The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.

3 And you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God,

You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 It is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is married.

And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Jehovah delights in you, and your land shall be married.

5 For a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over you.

For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

6 “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,

I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on Jehovah, take no rest,

7 And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.

Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:

9 For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”

but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."

10 Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.

Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.

11 Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”

Look, Jehovah has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"

12 And they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city not forsaken!”

They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
