places; a they will raise up even
the desolated places of former
times, b and they will certainly
make anew the devastated cities,
c the places desolate for generation
after generation.
5 “And strangers will actually
stand and shepherd the flocks of
YOU people, d and the foreigners e
will be YOUR farmers and YOUR
vinedressers. f 6 And as for YOU,
the priests of Jehovah YOU will
be called; g the ministers h of our
God YOU will be said to be. i The
resources of the nations YOU people
will eat, j and in their glory
YOU will speak elatedly about
yourselves. k 7 Instead of YOUR
shame there will be a double
portion, l and instead of humiliation
they will cry out joyfully over
their share. m Therefore in their
land they will take possession of
even a double portion. n Rejoicing
to time indefinite is what will
come to be theirs. o 8 For I, Jehovah,
am loving justice, p hating
robbery along with unrighteousness.
q And I will give their
wages in trueness, r and an indefinitely
lasting covenant I shall
conclude toward them. s 9 And
their offspring will actually be
known even among the nations, t
and their descendants in among
the peoples. All those seeing
them will recognize them, u that
they are the offspring whom Jehovah
has blessed.” v
10 Without fail I shall exult in
Jehovah. w My soul will be joyful
in my God. x For he has clothed
me with the garments of salvation;
y with the sleeveless coat of
righteousness he has enwrapped
me, z like the bridegroom who, in
apriestlyway,putsonaheaddress,
a and like the bride who
decks herself with her ornamental
things. b 11 For as the earth
itself brings forth its sprout, and
as the garden itself makes the
things that are sown in it
sprout, c in like manner the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah will cause

For the sake of Zion I shall
not keep still, c and for the
sake of Jerusalem d I shall not
stay quiet until her righteousness
goes forth just like the
brightness, e and her salvation
like a torch that burns. f
2 “And the nations will certainly
see your righteousness, g
O woman, h and all kings your
glory. i And you will actually be
called by a new name, j which
the very mouth of Jehovah will
designate. 3 And you must become
a crown of beauty in the
hand of Jehovah, k and a kingly
turban in the palm of your God.
4 No more will you be said to be
awomanleftentirely; l and your
own land will no more be said
to be desolate; m but you yourself
will be called My Delight Is in
Her, n and your land Owned as a
Wife. For Jehovah will have taken
delight in you, and your own
land will be owned as a wife. o
5 For just as a young man takes
ownership of a virgin as his wife,
your sons will take ownership of
you as a wife. p And with the exultation
of a bridegroom over a
bride, q your God will exult even
over you. r 6 Upon your walls,
O Jerusalem, I have commissioned
watchmen. s All day long
and all night long, constantly, let
them not keep still. t
“YOU who are making mention
of Jehovah, u let there be
no silence on YOUR part, v 7 and
do not give him any silence until
he fixes solidly, yes, until he
sets Jerusalem as a praise in the
earth.” w
