1 For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent.For Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,until its righteousness shines like the dawnand its salvation burns brightly like a torch.
2 The nations will see your righteousness.All kings will see your glory.You will be given a new namethat the Lord will announce.
3 Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord,a royal crown in the hand of your God.
4 You will no longer be called Deserted,and your land will no longer be called Destroyed.But you will be named My Delight,and your land will be named Married.The Lord is delighted with you,and your land will be married.
5 As a young man marries a woman,so your sons will marry you.As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,so your God will rejoice over you.
6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.They will never be silent day or night.Whoever calls on the Lord, do not give yourselves any rest,
7 and do not give him any rest until he establishes Jerusalemand makes it an object of praise throughout the earth.
