The Prophecy
of Isaias 62
For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for the
sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one
come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted
as a lamp.
And the Gentiles shall see thy just one, and all kings
thy glorious one: and thou shalt be called by a new
name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the
Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Thou shalt no more be called Forsaken: and thy land
shall no more be called Desolate: but thou shalt be
called My pleasure in her, and thy land inhabited. Because
the Lord hath been well pleased with thee: and thy land
shall be inhabited.
For the young man shall dwell with the virgin, and thy
children shall dwell in thee. And the bridegroom shall
rejoice over the bride, and thy God shall rejoice over
thee.
Upon thy wails, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen
all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold
their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold
not your peace,
And give him no silence till he establish, and till
he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm
of his strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn
to be meat for thy enemies: and the sons of the strangers
shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured.
For they that gather it, shall eat it, and shall praise
the Lord: and they that bring it together, shall drink
it in my holy courts.
Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for
the people, make the road plain, pick out the stones,
and lift up the standard to the people.
Behold the Lord hath made it to be heard in the ends
of the earth, tell the daughter of Sion: Behold thy
Saviour cometh: behold his reward is with him, and his
work before him.
And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed
of the Lord. But thou shalt be called: A city sought
after, and not forsaken. |
