Isaiah 62:5-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. For as a young man marries a virgin,so your sons shall marry you;and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,so your God shall rejoice over you.

6. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,who shall never hold their peace day nor night.You who remind the Lord,do not keep silent;

7. give Him no rest until He establishesand makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.

8. The Lord has sworn by His right handand by His strong arm:Surely I will no longer give your grainas food for your enemies;and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your winefor which you have labored.

9. But those who have gathered it shall eat itand praise the Lord;and those who have brought it shall drink itin the courts of My sanctuary.

10. Go through, go through the gates.Prepare the way of the people;build up, build up the highway.Remove the stones;lift up a standard over the peoples.

11. The Lord has proclaimedto the ends of the earth:Say to the daughter of Zion,“See, your salvation comes;see, His reward is with Him,and His recompense before Him.”
