For
Zion's sake will I not hold my
peace , and for
Jerusalem's sake I will not
rest , until the
righteousness thereof go
forth as
brightness, and the
salvation thereof as a
lamp that
burneth .
2
And the
Gentiles shall
see thy
righteousness, and all
kings thy
glory: and thou shalt be
called by a
new name , which the
mouth of the
LORD shall
name.
3
Thou shalt also be a
crown of
glory in the
hand of the
LORD, and a
royal diadem * in the
hand of thy
God.
4
Thou shalt no more be
termed Forsaken ; neither shall thy
land any more be
termed Desolate: but thou shalt be
called Hephzibah, and thy
land Beulah : for the
LORD delighteth in thee, and thy
land shall be
married .
5
For as a young
man marrieth a
virgin, so shall thy
sons marry thee: and as the
bridegroom rejoiceth over the
bride, so shall thy
God rejoice over thee.
6
I have
set watchmen upon thy
walls, O
Jerusalem, which shall
never hold their
peace day nor
night: ye that make
mention of the
LORD, keep not
silence,
7
And
give him no
rest, till he
establish , and till he
make Jerusalem a
praise in the
earth.
8
The
LORD hath
sworn by his right
hand, and by the
arm of his
strength, Surely I
will no more
give thy
corn to be
meat for thine
enemies ; and the
sons of the
stranger shall not
drink thy
wine, for the which thou hast
laboured :
9
But they that have
gathered it shall
eat it, and
praise the
LORD; and they that have brought it
together shall
drink it in the
courts of my
holiness.
10
Go
through , go
through the
gates; prepare ye the
way of the
people; cast
up , cast
up the
highway; gather
out the
stones; lift
up a
standard for the
people.
11
Behold, the
LORD hath
proclaimed unto the
end of the
world, Say ye to the
daughter of
Zion, Behold, thy
salvation cometh ; behold, his
reward is with him, and his
work before him.
12
And they shall
call them, The
holy people, The
redeemed of the
LORD: and thou shalt be
called , Sought
out , A
city not
forsaken .
