CHAPTER 62
FOR Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted as a lamp.
2 And the Gentiles shall see your just one, and all kings your glorious one: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3 And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be called Forsaken: and your land shall no more be called Desolate: but you shall be called My pleasure in her, and your land inhabited. Because the Lord has been well pleased with you: and your land shall be inhabited.
5 For the young man shall dwell with the virgin, and your children shall dwell in you. And the bridegroom shall rejoice over the bride, and your God shall rejoice over you.
6 Upon your wails, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace,
7 And give him no silence till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength: Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat for your enemies: and the sons of the strangers shall not drink your wine, for which you have laboured.
9 For they that gather it, shall eat it, and shall praise the Lord: and they that bring it together, shall drink it in my holy courts.
10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people, make the road plain, pick out the stones, and lift up the standard to the people.
11 Behold the Lord has made it to be heard in the ends of the earth, tell the daughter of Sion: Behold your Saviour comes: 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. But you shall be called: A city sought after, and not forsaken.
