[1] For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation as a lamp that burns. [2] The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. [3] You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. [4] You shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is In Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married. [5] For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God shall rejoice over you. [6] I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day nor night. You who remind the LORD, do not keep silent; [7] give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth. [8] The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm: Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored. [9] But those who have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD; and those who have brought it shall drink it in the courts of My sanctuary. [10] Go through, go through the gates. Prepare the way of the people; build up, build up the highway. Remove the stones; lift up a standard over the peoples. [11] The LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, "See, your salvation comes; see, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him." [12] They shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.
