Isaiah 61:10-62:5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰I greatly rejoice in the Lord,
I exult in my God;
for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation
and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness,^(A)
as a groom wears a turban
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.^(B)
¹¹For as the earth produces its growth,
and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.^(C)

Zion’s Restoration

62 I will not keep silent because of Zion,
and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,^(D)
until her righteousness shines like a bright light^(E)
and her salvation, like a flaming torch.
²Nations will see your righteousness^(F)
and all kings, your glory.
You will be called by a new name
that the Lord’s mouth will announce.^(G)
³You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,
and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.^(H)
⁴You will no longer be called Deserted,^(I)
and your land will not be called Desolate;
instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her,^[a]
and your land Married;^[b]^(J)
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land will be married.
⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,
so your sons will marry you;
and as a groom rejoices^[c] over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.^(K)
