| 1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake
I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her
salvation as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the nations shall see thy
righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new
name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown
of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, 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 Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah;
for Jehovah 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; they shall never hold
their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah's remembrancers, take ye no
rest, 7 and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand,
and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be
food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for
which thou hast labored: 9 but they that have garnered it shall eat it,
and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the
courts of my sanctuary. 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 an ensign for the peoples. 11 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto
the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation
cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12 And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and
thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
