Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
7
And do not give silence to Him, || 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.
9
For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, || And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
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.
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.”
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!”
1
For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
2
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name.
3
You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
4
You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah,(a) and your land Beulah;(b) for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
5
For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7
and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes 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 grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
9
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
10
Go through, 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, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion,Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”
12
They will call themThe Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be calledSought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
