Zion's Coming Salvation

62 (A)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
(B)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
(C)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
(D)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
You shall be (E)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
(F)You shall no more be termed (G)Forsaken,[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
(H)but you shall be called (I)My Delight Is in Her,[c]
    and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so (J)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so (K)shall your God rejoice over you.

62 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.

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.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

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.

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.
