For Zion’ssakewill I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’ssake I will not rest, until the righteousnessthereof go forth as brightness, and the salvationthereof as a lampthatburneth.
Thoushalt no more be termedForsaken; neithershall thy land any more be termedDesolate: but thoushalt be calledHephzibah, and thy landBeulah: for the LORDdelighteth in thee, and thy landshall be married.
The LORDhathsworn by his righthand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no moregive thy corn to be meat for thineenemies; and the sons of the strangershall not drink thy wine, for the whichthouhastlaboured:
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.
Behold, the LORDhathproclaimedunto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvationcometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his workbefore him.
