For the sake of Żiyyon I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Yeru­shalayim, I will not be still, until her righteousness goes forth like radiance, and her salvation like a burning torch.

And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall express.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Ḥefżi-va (My Delight is in Her,) and thy land Be῾ula (Espoused:) for the Lord delights in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.

For as a young man takes to himself a virgin, so shall thy sons take thee to themselves, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Yerushalayim, who shall never hold their peace day or night: you that make mention of the Lord, take no rest,

and give him no rest till he establishes, and till he makes Yerushalayim a praise in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine for which thou hast laboured:

but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way of the people; bank up, build up the highway; clear the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world, Say to the daughter of Żiyyon, Behold, thy salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his wages before him.

And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Derusha (Sought out,) a city not forsaken.
