Isaiah 62The Vindication and Salvation of Zion

1

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 marry you,

and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

so shall your God rejoice over you.

6 Ps 74.2; Isa 52.8; Jer 6.17; Ezek 3.17 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem,

I have posted sentinels;

all day and all night

they shall never be silent.

You who remind the Lord,

take no rest,

7 Jer 33.9; Mt 15.21–28; Lk 18.1–8 and give him no rest

until he establishes Jerusalem

and makes it renowned throughout the earth.

8 Deut 28.31, 33; Isa 45.23; Jer 5.17 The Lord has sworn by his right hand

and by his mighty arm:

I will not again give your grain

to be food for your enemies,

and foreigners shall not drink the wine

for which you have labored,

9 Isa 65.13, 21–23 but those who harvest it shall eat it

and praise the Lord,

and those who gather it shall drink it

in my holy courts.

10 Isa 11.10, 12; 49.11; 57.14 Go through, go through the gates;

prepare the way for the people;

build up, build up the highway;

clear it of stones;

lift up an ensign over the peoples.

11 Isa 40.10; 49.6; 51.5; Zech 9.9; Mt 21.5 The Lord has proclaimed

to the end of the earth:

Say to daughter Zion,

“Look, your savior comes;

his reward is with him

and his recompense before him.”

12 v 4 ; Isa 4.3; 51.10They shall be called, “The Holy People,

The Redeemed of the Lord,”

and you shall be called, “Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.”
