Chapter 62
Second poem on the glorious resurrection of Jerusalem
1
About Zion I will not be silent, about Jerusalem I will not grow weary, until her integrity shines out like the dawn and her salvation flames like a torch.
2
The nations then will see your integrity, all the kings your glory, and you will be called by a new name, one which the mouth of Yahweh will confer.
3
You are to be a crown of splendour in the hand of Yahweh, a princely diadem in the hand of your God;
4
no longer are you to be named ‘Forsaken’, nor your land ‘Abandoned’, but you shall be called ‘My Delight’ and your land ‘The Wedded’; for Yahweh takes delight in you and your land will have its wedding.
5
Like a young man marrying a virgin, so will the one who built you wed you, and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so will your God rejoice in you.
6
On your walls, Jerusalem, I set watchmen. Day or night they must never be silent. You who keep Yahweh mindful must take no rest.
7
Nor let him take rest till he has restored Jerusalem, and made her the boast of the earth.
8
Yahweh has sworn it by his right hand and by his mighty arm. Never again shall I give your corn to feed your enemies. Never again will foreigners drink your wine that you laboured for.
9
But those who gather the harvest will eat it and praise Yahweh. Those who gathered the grapes will drink in the courts of my sanctuary.
Conclusion
10
Pass through, pass through the gates. Make a way for the people. Bank up, bank up the highway, clear it of stones. Hoist the signal for the peoples.
11
This Yahweh proclaims to the ends of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your saviour comes, the prize of his victory with him, his trophies before him’.
12
They shall be called ‘The Holy People’, ‘Yahweh’s Redeemed’. And you shall be called ‘The-sought-after’, ‘City-not-forsaken’.
