ASV_Strong : Isaiah 62
1. For Zion[H6726]'s sake will I not hold my peace[H2814], and for Jerusalem[H3389]'s sake I will not rest[H8252], until her righteousness[H6664] go forth[H3318] as brightness[H5051], and her salvation[H3444] as a lamp[H3940] that burneth[H1197].
2. And the nations[H1471] shall see[H7200] thy righteousness[H6664], and all kings[H4428] thy glory[H3519], and thou shalt be called[H7121] by a new[H2319] name[H5344], which the mouth[H6310] of Jehovah[H3068] shall name[H8034].
3. Thou shalt also be a crown[H5850] of beauty[H8597] in the hand[H3027] of Jehovah[H3068], and a royal[H4410] diadem[H6797] in the hand[H3709] of thy God[H430].
4. Thou shalt no more be termed[H559] Forsaken[H5800]; neither shall thy land[H776] any more be termed[H559] Desolate[H8077]: but thou shalt be called[H7121] Hephzi-bah[H2657], and thy land[H776] Beulah[H1166]; for Jehovah[H3068] delighteth[H2654] in thee[H776], and thy land shall be married[H1166].
5. For as a young man[H970] marrieth[H1166] a virgin[H1330], so shall thy sons[H1121] marry[H1166] thee[H2860]; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth[H4885] over the bride[H3618], so shall thy God[H430] rejoice over thee[H7797].
6. I have set[H6485] watchmen[H8104] upon thy walls[H2346], O Jerusalem[H3389]; they shall never[H8548] hold their peace[H2814] day[H3117] nor night[H3915]: ye that are Jehovah[H3068]'s remembrancers[H2142], take ye no rest[H1824],
7. and give[H5414] him no rest[H1824], till he establish[H3559], and till he make[H7760] Jerusalem[H3389] a praise[H8416] in the earth[H776].
8. Jehovah[H3068] hath sworn[H7650] by his right hand[H3225], and by the arm[H2220] of his strength[H5797], Surely I will[H518] no more give[H5414] thy grain[H1715] to be food[H3978] for thine enemies[H341]; and foreigners[H5236, 1121] shall not drink[H8354] thy new wine[H8492], for which thou hast labored[H3021]:
9. but they that have garnered[H622] it shall eat[H398] it[H1984], and praise Jehovah[H3068]; and they that have gathered[H6908] it shall drink[H8354] it in the courts[H2691] of my sanctuary[H6944].
10. Go through[H5674], go through[H5674] the gates[H8179]; prepare[H6437] ye the way[H1870] of the people[H5971]; cast up[H5549], cast up[H5549] the highway[H4546]; gather out[H5619] the stones[H68]; lift up[H7311] an ensign[H5251] for the peoples[H5971].
11. Behold[H3068], Jehovah hath proclaimed[H8085] unto the end[H7097] of the earth[H776], Say[H559] ye to the daughter[H1323] of Zion[H6726], Behold[H3468], thy salvation cometh[H935]; behold[H7939], his reward is with him[H6468], and his recompense before him[H6440].
12. And they shall call[H7121] them The holy[H6944] people[H5971], The redeemed[H1350] of Jehovah[H3068]: and thou shalt be called[H7121] Sought out[H1875], A city[H5892] not forsaken[H5800].
