KJ3 Literal Translation
Isaiah 62
The desire of the prophet to confirm the promises of Jehovah to His people. The office of the watchmen. The gospel proclaimed.
1For Zion's sake, I will not be silent; and for Jerusalem's sake, I will not rest; until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.
2And nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. And one calls you a new name which the mouth of Jehovah shall specify.
3You also shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4Not shall be said to you any more, Forsaken; and not your land shall be said to you any more, Desolate. But you shall be called, My Delight is in Her; and your land, Married. For Jehovah delights in you, and your land is married.
5For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you. And as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God shall rejoice over you.
6I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem. All the day and all the night they shall not be silent always; you who remember Jehovah, let there not be a rest to you.
7And do not give a rest to Him until He sets up and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the might of His arm: Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of an alien shall not drink your new wine for which you have labored.
9But those who have gathered it shall eat it and praise Jehovah. And they who have collected it shall drink it in My holy courts.
10Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people! Raise up! Raise up the highway; clear it from stones; lift up a banner over the peoples.
11Behold, Jehovah has made it to be heard to the end of the earth; Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold! Your salvation comes! Behold! His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
12And they shall call them, The Holy People, the Redeemed of Jehovah. And to you it shall be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
