¹ For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until its righteousness goes out as brightness, and her salvation as a burning lamp.

² And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD will name.

³ You also will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

⁴ You will no more be called Forsaken; nor will your land any more be called Desolate; but you will be called My Delight, is in her, and your land, Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.

⁵ For as a young man marries a virgin, so will your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

⁶ I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who will not always be silent all the day nor all the night; you who remember the LORD, do not be silent.

⁷ And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁸ The LORD has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and the sons of strangers will not drink your wine for which you have labored.

⁹ But its gatherers will eat it and praise the LORD; and they who collected it will drink it in My holy courts.

¹⁰ Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people. Raise up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

¹¹ Behold, the LORD has sent a message to the end of the earth, Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

¹² And they will call them, The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken.
