Isaiah 62 Because of Zion I will not be silent, and because of Jerusalem I will not cease, until my righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation shall burn as a torch.

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Because of Zion I will not be silent, and because of Jerusalem I will not cease, until my righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation shall burn as a torch. ² And nations shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory; and he shall call thee by thy new name, which the Lord shall name. ³ And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a diadem of royalty in the hand of thy God. ⁴ And thou shalt no longer be called Forsaken, and thy land shall not be any more called Desolate; for thy name shall be called My delight, and thy land, Dwelling. ⁵ And as a young man joineth house with a virgin, so shall thy sons found houses with thee; and it shall be, as a bridegroom shall rejoice over a bride, so shall the Lord rejoice over thee. ⁶ And upon thy walls, Jerusalem, have I set watchmen, all the day and all the night, who shall not be silent for ever, making mention of the Lord. ⁷ For ye have none (other) like; if he establish, and make Jerusalem an exultation upon the earth. ⁸ The Lord hath sworn by his glory and by the might of his arm, I will not any more give thy corn and thy meats to thine enemies; and no longer shall stranger children drink thy wine, for which thou didst labour. ⁹ But they that gather them together shall eat them, and praise the Lord; and they that gather them together shall drink them in thy holy courts. ¹⁰ Go ye through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast away the stones out of the way, lift up a signal to the nations. ¹¹ For behold, the Lord maketh it to be heard unto the end of the earth; Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Saviour cometh to thee, having his own reward, and (his) work before his face. ¹² And he shall call it an holy people, ransomed by the Lord; while thou shalt be called, A city sought after, and, Not forsaken.
