1For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her {the} righteousness {thereof} go forth as brightness, and her {the} salvation {thereof} as a lamp that burneth. 2And the nations {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. 3Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4Thou 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. 5For 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. 6I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day nor night; ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8The LORD hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast labored; 9But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they who have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of My holiness.

10Go 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 peoples. 11Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth {world}: Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. 12And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD; and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
