Isaiah 62 WYC
Summary: For Zion's sake the speaker will not keep silent until her righteousness shines forth like brightness, and she is given a new name by the LORD's own mouth, no longer called "Forsaken" but "Hephzibah" (my delight is in her) and her land "Beulah" (married), for the LORD delights in her as a bridegroom rejoices over a bride. Watchmen are set on Jerusalem's walls who will never keep silent day or night, reminding the LORD and giving Him no rest until Jerusalem is established and made a praise in the earth, and the LORD swears her grain and wine will no longer be given to enemies but enjoyed by those who labored for them. The people are commanded to go through the gates, prepare the way, and lift up a banner for the peoples, as the LORD proclaims to the daughter of Zion, "Behold, thy salvation cometh" (v. 11). The chapter closes naming Zion's redeemed people "The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD," and the city itself "Sought out, A city not forsaken."
1For Sion Y schal not be stille, and for Jerusalem Y schal not reste, til the iust man therof go out as schynyng, and the sauyour therof be teendid as a laumpe.
2And hethene men schulen se thi iust man, and alle kyngis schulen se thi noble man; and a newe name, which the mouth of the Lord nemyde, schal be clepid to thee.
3And thou schalt be a coroun of glorie in the hond of the Lord, and a diademe of the rewme in the hond of thi God.
4Thou schalt no more be clepid forsakun, and thi lond schal no more be clepid desolat; but thou schalt be clepid My wille in that, and thi lond schal be enhabitid; for it plesid the Lord in thee, and thi lond schal be enhabited.
5For a yong man schal dwelle with a virgyn, and thi sones schulen dwelle in thee; and the spouse schal haue ioie on the spousesse, and thi God schal haue ioie on thee.
6Jerusalem, Y haue ordeyned keperis on thi wallis, al dai and al niyt with outen ende thei schulen not be stille. Ye that thenken on the Lord, be not stille,
7and yyue ye not silence to him, til he stablische, and til he sette Jerusalem `preisyng in erthe.
8The Lord swoor in his riyt hond and in the arm of his strengthe, Y schal no more yyue thi wheete mete to thin enemyes, and alien sones schulen not drynke thi wyn, in which thou hast trauelid.
9For thei that schulen gadere it togidere, schulen ete it, and schulen herie the Lord; and thei that beren it togidere, schulen drynke in myn hooli hallis.
10Passe ye, passe ye bi the yatis; make ye redi weie to the puple, make ye a playn path; and chese ye stoonys, and reise ye a signe to puplis.
11Lo! the Lord made herd in the laste partis of the erthe. Seie ye to the douytir of Sion, Lo! thi sauyour cometh; lo! his meede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
12And thei schulen clepe hem the hooli puple, ayenbouyt of the Lord. Forsothe thou schalt be clepid a citee souyt, and not forsakun.
