- Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
- The nations will see your righteousness. World leaders will be blinded by your glory. And you will be given a new name by the Lord's own mouth.
- The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see— a splendid crown in the hand of God.
- Never again will you be called "The Forsaken City"[1] or "The Desolate Land."[2] Your new name will be "The City of God's Delight"[3] and "The Bride of God,"[4] for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride.
- Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem, just as a young man commits himself to his bride. Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
- O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray day and night, continually. Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
- Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work, until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
- The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength: "I will never again hand you over to your enemies. Never again will foreign warriors come and take away your grain and new wine.
- You raised the grain, and you will eat it, praising the Lord. Within the courtyards of the Temple, you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed."
- Go out through the gates! Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders; raise a flag for all the nations to see.
- The Lord has sent this message to every land: "Tell the people of Israel,[5] 'Look, your Savior is coming. See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.'"
- They will be called "The Holy People" and "The People Redeemed by the Lord." And Jerusalem will be known as "The Desirable Place" and "The City No Longer Forsaken."
