- Kapitel 62 -

1
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2
Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4
No longer will you be called Forsaken,(a) nor your land named Desolate;(b) but you will be called Hephzibah,(c) and your land Beulah;(d) for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
5
For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,
7
nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
8
The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9
For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10
Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!
11
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”
12
And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, 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,

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
