| 1: 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.
|
| |
| 2: 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. |
| |
| 3:
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. |
| |
| 4: Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land
any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and
thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be
married. |
| |
| 5: 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. |
| |
| 6: 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, |
| |
| 7: And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth. |
| |
| 8: 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: |
| |
| 9: 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. |
