Isaiah 62 New King James Version (NKJV)

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not ^[a]hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
²^(A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all ^(B)kings your glory.
^(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
³You shall also be ^(D)a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
⁴^(E)You shall no longer be termed ^(F)Forsaken,^[b]
Nor shall your land any more be termed ^(G)Desolate;^[c]
But you shall be called ^[d]Hephzibah, and your land ^[e]Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
^(H)So shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶^(I)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall ^[f]never hold their peace day or night.
You who ^[g]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
⁷And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem ^(J)a praise in the earth.

⁸The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer ^(K)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
⁹But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ^(L)in My holy courts.”

¹⁰Go through,
Go through the gates!
^(M)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
^(N)Lift up a banner for the peoples!

¹¹Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
^(O)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His ^(P)reward is with Him,
And His ^[h]work before Him.’ ”
¹²And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
