Isaiah 62 (WEBP)

[1] For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
[2] The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh’s mouth will name.
[3] You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
[4] You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be married.
[5] For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
[6] I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,
[7] and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise on the earth.
[8] Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
[9] but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
[10] Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.
[11] Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”
[12] They will call them “The Holy People, Yahweh’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.

Isaiah 62:4a Hephzibah means “I delight in her”.
Isaiah 62:4b Beulah means “married”

Isaiah 62 (BYZ)

[1] δια σιων ου σιωπησομαι και δια ιερουσαλημ ουκ ανησω εως αν εξελθη ως φως η δικαιοσυνη μου το δε σωτηριον μου ως λαμπας καυθησεται
[2] και οψονται εθνη την δικαιοσυνην σου και βασιλεις την δοξαν σου και καλεσει σε το ονομα σου το καινον ο ο κυριος ονομασει αυτο
[3] και εση στεφανος καλλους εν χειρι κυριου και διαδημα βασιλειας εν χειρι θεου σου
[4] και ουκετι κληθηση καταλελειμμενη και η γη σου ου κληθησεται ερημος σοι γαρ κληθησεται θελημα εμον και τη γη σου οικουμενη
[5] και ως συνοικων νεανισκος παρθενω ουτως κατοικησουσιν οι υιοι σου μετα σου και εσται ον τροπον ευφρανθησεται νυμφιος επι νυμφη ουτως ευφρανθησεται κυριος επι σοι
[6] και επι των τειχεων σου ιερουσαλημ κατεστησα φυλακας ολην την ημεραν και ολην την νυκτα οι δια τελους ου σιωπησονται μιμνησκομενοι κυριου
[7] ουκ εστιν γαρ υμιν ομοιος εαν διορθωση και ποιηση ιερουσαλημ αγαυριαμα επι της γης
[8] ωμοσεν κυριος κατα της δεξιας αυτου και κατα της ισχυος του βραχιονος αυτου ει ετι δωσω τον σιτον σου και τα βρωματα σου τοις εχθροις σου και ει ετι πιονται υιοι αλλοτριοι τον οινον σου εφ ω εμοχθησας
[9] αλλ η οι συναγοντες φαγονται αυτα και αινεσουσιν κυριον και οι συναγοντες πιονται αυτα εν ταις επαυλεσιν ταις αγιαις μου
[10] πορευεσθε δια των πυλων μου και οδοποιησατε τω λαω μου και τους λιθους τους εκ της οδου διαρριψατε εξαρατε συσσημον εις τα εθνη
[11] ιδου γαρ κυριος εποιησεν ακουστον εως εσχατου της γης ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων ιδου σοι ο σωτηρ παραγινεται εχων τον εαυτου μισθον και το εργον προ προσωπου αυτου
[12] και καλεσει αυτον λαον αγιον λελυτρωμενον υπο κυριου συ δε κληθηση επιζητουμενη πολις και ουκ εγκαταλελειμμενη
