Isaiah 62:1 in context

Isaiah 62:1–4

Selected verse

For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,

and her salvation like a burning lamp.

The nations will see your righteousness,

and all kings your glory.

You will be called by a new name,

which the LORD’s mouth will name.

You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand,

and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

You will not be called Forsaken any more,

nor will your land be called Desolate any more;

but you will be called Hephzibah,

and your land Beulah;

for the LORD delights in you,

and your land will be married.
