Isaiah 62
New International Version

### Zion’s New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(A)
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(B)shines out like the dawn,(C)
her salvation(D)like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(E)will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(F)
that the mouth of theLordwill bestow.
3 You will be a crown(G)of splendor in theLord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(H)
or name your land Desolate.(I)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](J)
and your land Beulah[b];
for theLordwill take delight(K)in you,
and your land will be married.(L)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(M)rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(N)over you.

6 I have posted watchmen(O)on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on theLord,
give yourselves no rest,(P)
7 and give him no rest(Q)till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise(R)of the earth.

8 TheLordhas sworn(S)by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(T)
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat(U)it
and praise theLord,(V)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”(W)

10 Pass through, pass through the gates!(X)
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!(Y)
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner(Z)for the nations.

11 TheLordhas made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:(AA)
“Say to Daughter Zion,(AB)
‘See, your Savior comes!(AC)
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.’”(AD)
12 They will be called(AE)the Holy People,(AF)
the Redeemed(AG)of theLord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.(AH)
