Isaiah
Your God will rejoice in you
62
1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, 1 for Jerusalem I will not keep silent,
1 until her holiness shines like the dawn
1 and her salvation flames like a burning torch.
3 You will be a crown of glory
3 in the hand of Yahweh,
3 a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
5 As a young man marries a virgin,
5 so will your builder marry you;
5 and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
5 so will your God rejoice in you.
He who sows will reap
6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed watchmen; all the day and throughout the night they will not be silent.
6 You who call on Yahweh, give your selves no rest; 7 and give him no rest either till he restores Jerusalem and makes of it the pride of the earth.
8 Yahweh swears by his right hand and by his mighty arm: Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, nor will foreigners drink the wine for which you have labored. 9 But those who toil will eat the harvest, and praise Yahweh; and those working for the vintage shall drink of the wine in the courts of my sanctuary. 10 “Pass through, pass through the gates, prepare the way for the people. Build it up, bank up the highway, clear it of stones; raise up a standard for the peoples.”
11 For Yahweh proclaims to the ends of the earth:
11 Say to the daughter of Zion, here comes your salvation! Yahweh brings the reward of his victory, his booty is carried before him.
12 They shall be called the holy people, the redeemed of Yahweh; and you shall be called The Sought After, a city no longer abandoned.
