Isaiah

Zion’s Salvation and New Name

1For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.+ 2The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you will be called by a new name, which Yahweh‘s mouth will name.+ 3You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh‘s hand, and a royal diadem in your God‘s hand.+ 4You will not be called Forsaken any more; nor will your land be called Desolate any more: but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be married.+ 5For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.+ 6I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,+ 7and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.+ 8Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored;+ 9but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh; and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”+ 10Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.+ 11Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’”+ 12They will call them The holy people, Yahweh’s redeemed. You will be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.+
