Zion’s Salvation and New Name
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, Isa 62:6-7Pro 4:18Isa 32:15-17Psa 102:13-161Pe 2:9Luk 2:30-32Heb 7:25Isa 51:5-6
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still,
until her righteousness shines like a bright light,
her salvation like a blazing torch.
Nations will see your righteousness, Isa 62:12Isa 65:15Rev 2:17Gen 17:5Isa 60:1-3Isa 66:12Gen 17:15Isa 49:23
and all kings your glory.
You will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, Isa 28:51Th 2:19Zec 9:16Luk 2:14
a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
No longer will you be called Forsaken, 1 Zep 3:17Hos 2:19-20Isa 62:12Isa 54:5-7Jer 32:411Pe 2:10Isa 61:10Isa 54:1
nor your land named Desolate; 2
but you will be called Hephzibah, 3
and your land Beulah; 4
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be His bride.
For as a young man marries a young woman, Isa 62:4Isa 65:19Heb 12:2Isa 49:18-22Jer 32:41Psa 45:11-16Sng 3:11
so your sons will marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; Isa 52:8Ezk 3:17-211Th 5:17Psa 134:1-2Jer 6:17Heb 13:17Isa 56:10Ezk 33:2-9
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD
shall take no rest for yourselves,
nor give Him any rest Jer 33:9Zep 3:19-20Isa 60:18Luk 18:1-8Mat 6:9-10Isa 61:11Rev 11:15Mat 6:13
until He establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.
The LORD has sworn by His right hand Isa 65:21-23Jdg 6:3-6Deu 28:33Deu 28:31Ezk 20:5Deu 32:40Isa 1:7Jer 5:17
and by His mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain
to your enemies for food,
nor will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled.
For those who harvest grain Deu 16:11Deu 12:12Deu 12:7Deu 14:23-29Deu 16:14
will eat it and praise the LORD,
and those who gather grapes
will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
Go out, go out through the gates; Isa 57:14Isa 40:3Heb 12:13Isa 49:22Isa 11:10Mat 22:9Exo 17:15Isa 11:12
prepare the way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;
clear away the stones;
raise a banner for the nations!
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed Zec 9:9Mat 21:5Jhn 12:15Rev 22:12Isa 40:9-10Rom 10:11-18Psa 98:1-3Isa 49:4
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:
See, your Savior comes!
Look, His reward is with Him,
and His recompense goes before Him.”
And they will be called the Holy People, 1Pe 2:9Deu 26:19Isa 62:4Deu 28:9Deu 7:6Isa 35:9Psa 107:2Heb 13:5
the Redeemed of The LORD;
and you will be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
