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 in 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”

[2] And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.

[4] It is not said of thee any more, ‘Forsaken!’ And of thy land it is not said any more, ‘Desolate,’ For to thee is cried, ‘My delight is in her,’ And to thy land, ‘Married,’ For Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is married.

[6] ‘On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.’ O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,
[7] And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem A praise in the earth.
[8] Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: ‘I give not thy corn any more as food for thine enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For which thou hast laboured.
[9] For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy courts.’
[10] Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
[11] Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: ‘Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,’ Lo, his hire is with him, and his wage before him.
