For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the
righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp
that
burneth.
2
And
the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new
name, which the mouth of the L
ORD
shall name.
3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand
of the L
ORD
, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy
land Beulah: for the L
ORD
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
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.
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 L
ORD
,
keep not silence,
7
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
earth.
8
The L
ORD
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:
9
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the
L
ORD
; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the
highways; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11
Behold, the L
ORD
hath proclaimed
unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold,
his reward
is
with him, and his work before him.
12
And they shall call them, The holy people, The
redeemed of the L
ORD
: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
CHAPTER 63
Who
is
this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this
that is
glorious in his
apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2
Wherefore
art thou
red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people
there was
none with me: for I will tread
them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my
garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4
For the day of vengeance
is
in mine heart, and the year
of my redeemed is come.
5
And I looked, and
there was
none to help; and I wondered that
there
was
none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld
me.
6
And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will
bring down their strength to the earth.
7
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the L
ORD
,
and
the praises of the L
ORD
, according to all
that the L
ORD
hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he
hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his
lovingkindnesses.
8

my people, children
that
will not lie: so he was
