Isaiah 62
1
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8
The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10
Go through, Go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11
Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Scriptural Confirmations #49
49. 21. (The young lions roar, they give out their voice, they reduce the land to wasteness (Jeremiah 2:15).)
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations shall be gathered on account of the name of Jehovah to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3:17). Concerning the New Church.
(A lion has gone up from his thicket and a destroyer of nations has set out; he is gone forth from his place to reduce thy land to wasteness. It shall come to pass in that day that the heart of the king shall perish and the heart of the princes, and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder (Jeremiah 4:7, 9).)
Breaking upon breaking is cried, for the whole land is devastated; suddenly are my tents devastated. I beheld, when lo, Carmel was a wilderness, and all the cities were desolated at the presence of Jehovah, for thus saith Jehovah the whole land shall be a waste; nevertheless I will not make a full end (Jeremiah 4:20, 26-28; 5:10, 18).
Shall I not visit for this, and shall not my soul take vengeance on such a nation as this? (Jeremiah 5:9, 29.)
(As a fountain causeth its waters to be cast forth, so Jerusalem causeth her wickedness to be cast forth; violence and vastation is heard in her. Receive reproof, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I reduce thee to a waste, a land not inhabited (Jeremiah 6:7-8).
At [that] time I will visit them (Jeremiah 6:15).
(Daughter of my people, make thee mourning for an only begotten, for the waster shall suddenly come upon you (Jeremiah 6:26).
(Behold the days come when the carcass of this people shall be for food for the bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth, none frightening them away. I will cause to cease from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall become a waste (Jeremiah 7:32-34; Genesis 15:11, 17).)
