The Scriptures 1998

Isaiah 62:2-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

2. And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates.

3. And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal head-dress in the hand of your Elohim.

4. No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land be married.

5. For as a young man marries a maiden, so shall your sons marry you. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your Elohim rejoice over you.

6. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Yerushalayim, all the day and all the night, continually, who are not silent. You who remember יהוה, give yourselves no rest,

7. and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Yerushalayim a praise in the earth.

8. יהוה has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength, “No more do I give your grain to be food for your enemies, nor do sons of the foreigner drink your new wine, for which you have laboured;

9. but those gathering it shall eat it, and praise יהוה. And those collecting it shall drink it in My set-apart courts.”
