Yeshayahu 62
Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah), Chapter 62
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her triumph go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 And the nations shall see thy triumph, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of HaShem shall mark out.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of HaShem, and a royal diadem in the open hand of thy G-d.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate; but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Espoused; for HaShem delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy G-d rejoice over thee.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, they shall never hold their peace day nor night: 'Ye that are HaShem'S remembrancers, take ye no rest,
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.'
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 HaShem hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 But they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise HaShem, and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 Go through, go through the gates, clear ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway, gather out the stones; lift up an ensign over the peoples.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 Behold, HaShem hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: say ye to the daughter of Zion: 'Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.'
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 And they shall call them The holy people, the redeemed of HaShem; and thou shalt be called Sought out, a city not forsaken.
