Isaiah 62

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

1 For Zion’s sake I will not 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 *Is. 60:3The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,

And all *Ps. 102:15, 16; 138:4, 5; 148:11, 13kings your glory.

*Is. 62:4, 12; 65:15You shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord will name.

3 You shall also be *Is. 28:5; Zech. 9:16; 1 Thess. 2:19a crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

4 *Hos. 1:10; 1 Pet. 2:10You shall no longer be termed *Is. 49:14; 54:6, 7Forsaken,

Nor shall your land any more be termed *Is. 54:1Desolate;

But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;

For the Lord delights in you,

And your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

So shall your sons marry you;

And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

*Is. 65:19So shall your God rejoice over you.

6 *Is. 52:8; Jer. 6:17; Ezek. 3:17; 33:7I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;

They shall never hold their peace day or night.

You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,

7 And give Him no rest till He establishes

And till He makes Jerusalem *Is. 60:18; 61:11; Jer. 33:9; Zeph. 3:19, 20a praise in the earth.

8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand

And by the arm of His strength:

"Surely I will no longer *Lev. 26:16; Deut. 28:31, 33; Judg. 6:3–6; Is. 1:7; Jer. 5:17give your grain

As food for your enemies;

And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,

For which you have labored.

9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,

And praise the Lord;

Those who have brought it together shall drink it *Deut. 12:12; 14:23, 26in My holy courts."

10 Go through,

Go through the gates!

*Is. 40:3; 57:14Prepare the way for the people;

Build up,

Build up the highway!

Take out the stones,

*Is. 11:12Lift up a banner for the peoples!

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed

To the end of the world:

*Zech. 9:9; Matt. 21:5; John 12:15"Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Surely your salvation is coming;

Behold, His *Is. 40:10; (Rev. 22:12)reward is with Him,

And His work before Him.’ "

12 And they shall call them The Holy People,

The Redeemed of the Lord;

And you shall be called Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.
