61.11
ISAIAH
- And as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth;
- So the Lord God will cause victory and glory
- To spring forth before all the nations.
- 62For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace,
- And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
- Until her triumph go forth as brightness,
- And her salvation as a torch that burneth.
- 2And the nations shall see thy triumph,
- And all kings thy glory;
- And thou shalt be called by a new name,
- Which the mouth of the Lord shall mark out.
- 3Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
- And a royal diadem in the open hand of thy God.
- 4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken,
- Neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate;
- But thou shalt be called, My delight is in her,
- And thy land, Espoused;
- For the Lord delighteth in thee,
- And thy land shall be espoused.
- 5For as a young man espouseth a virgin,
- So shall thy sons espouse thee;
- And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
- So shall thy God rejoice over thee.
- 6I have set watchmen
- Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
- They shall never hold their peace
- Day nor night:
- 'Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers,
- Take ye no rest,
- 7And give Him no rest,
- Till He establish,
- And till He make Jerusalem
- A praise in the earth.'
- 8The Lord hath sworn by His right hand,
- And by the arm of His strength:
- Surely I will no more give thy corn
- To be food for thine enemies;
- And strangers shall not drink thy wine,
- For which thou hast laboured;
- 9But they that have garnered it shall eat it,
- And praise the Lord,
- And they that have gathered it shall drink it
- In the courts of My sanctuary.
- 10Go through, go through the gates,
- Clear ye the way of the people;
- Cast up, cast up the highway,
- Gather out the stones;
- Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
- 11Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed
- Unto the end of the earth:
- Say ye to the daughter of Zion:
- 'Behold, thy salvation cometh;
- Behold, His reward is with Him,
- And His recompense before Him.'
- 12And they shall call them The holy people,
- The redeemed of the Lord;
- And thou shalt be called Sought out,
- A city not forsaken.
- 63'Who is this that cometh from Edom,
- With crimsoned garments from Bozrah?
- This that is glorious in his apparel,
