CHAPTER 62
1 For Zion I shall not be still, and for Jerusalem I shall not rest, till the just [or rightwise]man thereof go out as shining, and the saviour thereof be tended as a lamp.

2 And heathen men shall see thy just [or rightwise]man, and all kings shall see thy noble man; and a new name, which the mouth of the Lord named, shall be called to thee.

3 And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a diadem of the realm in the hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be called forsaken, and thy land shall no more be called desolate; but thou shalt be called My will in that, and thy land That that shall be inhabited; for it pleased the Lord in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.

5 For a young man shall dwell with a virgin, and thy sons shall dwell in thee; and the spouse shall have joy on the spousess, and thy God shall have joy on thee.

6 Jerusalem, I have ordained keepers on thy walls, all day and all night without end they shall not be still. Ye that think on the Lord, be not still,

7 and give ye not silence to him, till he stablish, and till he set Jeru-salem praising in [the] earth.

8 The Lord swore in his right hand, and in the arm of his strength, I shall no more give thy wheat to be meat to thine enemies, and alien sons shall not drink thy wine, in which thou hast travailed.

9 For they that shall gather it together, shall eat it, and shall praise the Lord; and they that bear it together, shall drink in mine holy foreyards.

10 Pass ye, pass ye by the gates; make ye ready a way to the people, make ye a plain path; and choose ye [the] stones, and raise ye [up] a sign to peoples.

11 Lo! the Lord made heard in the last parts of the earth. Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy saviour cometh; lo! his meed is with him, and his work is before him.

12 And they shall call them the holy people, again-bought of the Lord. Forsooth thou shalt be called a city sought, and not forsaken.
