Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,And her salvation as a lamp that burns.² The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,And all kings your glory.You shall be called by a new name,Which the mouth of the Lord will name.³ You shall also be a crown of gloryIn the hand of the Lord,And a royal diademIn the hand of your God.⁴ You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;But you shall be called Hephzibah,^[a] and your land Beulah;^[a]For the Lord delights in you,And your land shall be married.⁵ For as a young man marries a virgin,So shall your sons marry you;And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,So shall your God rejoice over you.

⁶ I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;They shall never hold their peace day or night.You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,⁷ And give Him no rest till He establishesAnd till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁸ The Lord has sworn by His right handAnd by the arm of His strength:“Surely I will no longer give your grainAs food for your enemies;And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,For which you have labored.⁹ But those who have gathered it shall eat it,And praise the Lord;Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.”

¹⁰ Go through,Go through the gates!Prepare the way for the people;Build up,Build up the highway!Take out the stones,Lift up a banner for the peoples!

¹¹ Indeed the Lord has proclaimedTo the end of the world:“Say to the daughter of Zion,‘Surely your salvation is coming;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 you shall be called Sought Out,A City Not Forsaken.
