Isaiah 62 Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

Isaiah 62:1-12 Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

Isaiah 62:1-5
1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace (keep silent),
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2
The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory.
You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
3
You shall also be a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
4
You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;
But you shall be called Hephzibah (My Delight Is in Her), and your land Beulah (Married);
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
5
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So shall your God rejoice over you.

Isaiah 62:6-7
6
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace (not be silent) day or night.
You who make mention of (remember) the Lord, do not keep silent,
7
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Isaiah 62:8-9
8
The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9
But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.”

Isaiah 62:10
10
Go through,
Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the peoples!

Isaiah 62:11-12
11
Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His reward is with Him,
And His work (recompense) before Him.’ ”
12
And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
