Isaiah 62:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Jerusalem, I will speak upfor your good.I will never be silenttill you are safe and secure,sparkling like a flame.

2. Your great victory will be seenby every nation and king;the Lord will even give youa new name.

3. You will be a glorious crown,a royal headband,for the Lord your God.

4. Your name will no longer be“Deserted and Childless”,but “Happily Married”.You will please the Lord;your countrywill be his bride.

5. Your people will take the land,just as a young mantakes a bride.The Lord will be pleasedbecause of you,just as a husband is pleasedwith his bride.

6. Jerusalem, on your wallsI have stationed guards,whose duty it isto speak out day and night,without resting.They must remind the Lord
