For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,Until her ^arighteousness goes forth like brightness,And her ^bsalvation like a torch that is burning.2 The ^anations will see your righteousness,And all kings your glory;And you will be called by a new ^bnameWhich the mouth of Yahweh will designate.3 You will also be a ^acrown 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, “¹^aForsaken,”Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “²Desolate”;But you will be called, “³My delight is in her,”And your land, “⁴^bMarried”;For ^cYahweh 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 ¹bridegroom rejoices over the bride,So your ^aGod will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed ^awatchmen;All day and all night they will never keep silent.You who ^bremind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;7 And ^agive Him no rest until He establishesAnd sets ^bJerusalem as a praise in the earth.8 ^aYahweh has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,“I will ^bnever again give your grain as food for your enemies;Nor will ¹foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”9 But those who ^acollect it will eat it and praise Yahweh;And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, ^ago through the gates,Clear the way ¹for the people;^bBuild up, build up the ^chighway,Remove the stones, raise up a ^dstandard over the peoples.11 Behold, Yahweh has ¹announced to the ^aend of the earth,^bSay to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your ^csalvation comes;^dBehold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”12 And they will call them, “^aThe holy people,The ^bredeemed of Yahweh”;And you will be called, “Sought out, a city ^cnot forsaken.”
