﻿Isaiah.
Chapter 62.
For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness and her salvation burns like a torch. 
The 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 designate. 
You will be a crown of splendor in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God. 
You will no longer be called Forsaken, nor will your land be called Desolate. You will be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married. 
For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you. 
On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never be silent. You who remind the LORD, take no rest, 
and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in the earth. 
The LORD has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies, nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored. 
But those who gather it will eat it and praise the LORD; those who collect it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.” 
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Clear away the stones; lift up a banner over the peoples! 
Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’” 
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.
