For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a burning torch.

And the nations will see your righteousness, And all the kings, your glory; And you will be called by a new name, Which the mouth of Jehovah will designate.

You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, And a royal turban in the palm of your God.

And it will no longer be said to you, Forsaken! Nor to your land will it be said any longer, Desolate! But you will be called, My delight is in her, And your land, Married; For Jehovah delights in you, And your land will be married.

For as a young man marries a virgin, Your sons will marry you; And with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride Your God will rejoice over you.

Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night They will never keep silent. You who remind Jehovah, Do not be dumb;

And do not give Him quiet Until He establishes And until He makes Jerusalem A praise in the earth.

Jehovah has sworn by His right hand And by His strong arm: Surely I will never again give your grain As food for your enemies, And surely the children of the foreigner will not drink your new wine For which you have labored;

But they who have gathered it will eat it, And they will praise Jehovah, And they who have collected it will drink it In the courts of My holiness.

Go through, go through the gates; Prepare the way for the people; Cast up, cast up the highway; Free it of stones; Raise up a standard for the people.

See, Jehovah has announced To the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, Your salvation is now coming; Now His reward is with Him And His recompense before Him.

And they will call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah; And you will be called, Sought after! A city not forsaken!
