For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, 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 rest,
until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
and her salvation like a burning lamp.
The 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,
which the LORD’s mouth will name.
You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, Isa 28:51Th 2:19Zec 9:16Luk 2:14
and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
You will not be called Forsaken any more, Zep 3:17Hos 2:19-20Isa 62:12Isa 54:5-7Jer 32:411Pe 2:10Isa 61:10Isa 54:1
nor will your land be called Desolate any more;
but you will be called Hephzibah, 1
and your land Beulah; 2
for the LORD delights in you,
and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin, Isa 62:4Isa 65:19Heb 12:2Isa 49:18-22Jer 32:41Psa 45:11-16Sng 3:11
so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. 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 nor night.
You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
and give him no rest until he establishes, Jer 33:9Zep 3:19-20Isa 60:18Luk 18:1-8Mat 6:9-10Isa 61:11Rev 11:15Mat 6:13
and until he makes Jerusalem a praise on 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 the arm of his strength,
“Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies,
and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Deu 16:11Deu 12:12Deu 12:7Deu 14:23-29Deu 16:14
Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
Go through, go through the gates! Isa 57:14Isa 40:3Heb 12:13Isa 49:22Isa 11:10Mat 22:9Exo 17:15Isa 11:12
Prepare the way of the people!
Build up, build up the highway!
Gather out the stones!
Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Zec 9:9Mat 21:5Jhn 12:15Rev 22:12Isa 40:9-10Rom 10:11-18Psa 98:1-3Isa 49:4
“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your salvation comes!
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him!’”
They will call them “The Holy People, 1Pe 2:9Deu 26:19Isa 62:4Deu 28:9Deu 7:6Isa 35:9Psa 107:2Heb 13:5
The LORD’s Redeemed”.
You will be called “Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken”.
