royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land
Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be
inhabited.

[thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a
bride, so will the Lord rejoice over thee.

night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

Jerusalem a praise on the earth.
62:8 For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I
will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall
strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.

the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my
holy courts.

thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that
burneth.

and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall
name.

royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more
be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah:
for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
62:5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and
as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over
thee.
62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold
their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not
silence,
62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a
praise in the earth.
62:8 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 thine enemies; and the
sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast
laboured:
62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and
they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my
holiness.

cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for
the people.

the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is
with him, and his work before him.
62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD:
and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. |
