1 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude, until her righteousness goes out like the bright light, and her salvation burns like a torch.
2 And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and ⌞you will be called⌟ a new name that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3 And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.
4 It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,” and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!” but ⌞you will⌟ be called “My Delight Is In Her,” and your land, “Married,” for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
7 And you must not give him rest until he establishes, and until he ⌞makes⌟ Jerusalem ⌞an object of praise⌟ in the earth.
8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by ⌞his mighty arm⌟, “Surely I will never again give your grain as food to ⌞your enemies⌟, and surely ⌞foreigners⌟ shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
9 But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh, and those who gather it shall drink it in ⌞my holy courts⌟.
10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Make the way clear ⌞for⌟ the people! Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones! Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his reward before him.
12 And they shall call them “The ⌞Holy People⌟, The Redeemed Of Yahweh,” and ⌞you⌟ shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”
