For Zion's sake
will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until the righteousness
thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation
thereof as a lamp that burneth.
02 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness,
and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called
by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall
name.
03 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the
hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand
of thy God.
04 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither
shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but
thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land
Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy
land shall be married.
05 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.
06 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O
Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day
nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep
not silence,

07 And give him no rest, till he establish, and
till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
08 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by
the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more
give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and
the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy
wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
09 But they that have gathered it shall eat it,
and praise the Lord; and they that have brought
it together shall drink it in the courts of my
holiness.
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 a
standard for the people.
11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end
of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy salvation cometh; 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 thou shalt be called,
Sought out, A city not forsaken.
