Isaiah 62:1-6

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,

Until her ^arighteousness goes forth like brightness,

And her ^bsalvation like a torch that is burning.

The ^anations will see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory;

And you will be called by a new ^bname

Which the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

You will also be a ^acrown of glory in the hand of Yahweh,

And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.

It will no longer be said to you, “¹^aForsaken,”

Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “²Desolate”;

But you will be called, “³My delight is in her,”

And your land, “⁴^bMarried”;

For ^cYahweh takes pleasure in you,

And to Him your land will be married.

For as a young man marries a virgin,

So your sons will marry you;

And as the ¹bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

So your ^aGod will rejoice over you.

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed ^awatchmen;

All day and all night they will never keep silent.

You who ^bremind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;
