## Zion's Glory and New Name
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
You will also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh, And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
It will no longer be said to you, "Forsaken," Nor to your land will it any longer be said, "Desolate"; But you will be called, "My delight is in her," And your land, "Married"; For Yahweh takes pleasure in you, And _to Him_ your land will be married.
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
For _as_ a young man marries a virgin, _So_ your sons will marry you; And _as_ the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, _So_ your God will rejoice over you.
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
And give Him no rest until He establishes And sets Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
Yahweh has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, "I will never again give your grain _as_ food for your enemies; Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored."
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
But those who collect it will eat it and praise Yahweh; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, raise up a standard over the peoples.
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
Behold, Yahweh has announced 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."
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
And they will call them, "The holy people, The redeemed of Yahweh"; And you will be called, "Sought out, a city not forsaken."
