Parallel
Isaiah 62
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,
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.
The nations will see your righteousness,
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.
You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand,
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
You will not be called Forsaken any more,
No longer will you be called Forsaken (note: Hebrew Azubah), nor your land named Desolate (note: Hebrew Shemamah); but you will be called Hephzibah (note: Hephzibah means My delight is in her.), and your land Beulah (note: Beulah means married.); for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
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.
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
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,
and give him no rest until he establishes,
nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
The LORD has sworn by his right hand,
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.
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD.
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.”
Go through, go through the gates!
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!
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth:
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.”
They will call them “The Holy People,
And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
