1For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation (yeshuah) as a torch that burns.
2And nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall designate.
3And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4It shall no more be said of you, Forsaken, and of your land it shall no more be said, Desolate; but you shall be called, My delight is in her, and your land, Espoused; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be espoused.
5For as a young man espouses a virgin, your sons shall espouse you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over a bride, your God shall rejoice over you.
6Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all the day and all the night continually they shall not be silent. You who remind YHWH, let there be no silence for you,
7and give no silence to him, until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength: Surely I will no more give your grain as food to your enemies, and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine for which you have labored;
9but those who gather it shall eat it and praise YHWH, and those who collect it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10Pass through, pass through the gates, clear the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway, gather out from the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.
11Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation (yeshuah) comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH; and you shall be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken.
