Zion's Coming Salvation

1 1For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, 2until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 3The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, 4and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give.
3 You shall be 5a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 6You shall no more be termed 7Forsaken,[a] and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b] 8but you shall be called 9My Delight Is in Her,[c] and your land Married;[d] for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so 10shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so 11shall your God rejoice over you.
6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set 12watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest,
