Isaiah 62

Read the chapter

¹For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch. ✦ ²Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. ✦ ³You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God. ✦ ⁴No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride. ✦ ⁵For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you. ✦ ⁶On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves, ✦ ⁷nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. ✦ ⁸The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled. ✦ ⁹For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.” ✦ ¹⁰Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations! ✦ ¹¹Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.” ✦ ¹²And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken. ✦

Christ at the center

Isaiah sees him most clearly: the virgin's son Immanuel, the child on David's throne, the shoot from Jesse, the light to the nations, and above all the Suffering Servant pierced for our transgressions (ch. 53).

How Isaiah 62 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
