Isaiah 62:
6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
   they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD,
   give yourselves no rest,
7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
   and makes her the praise of the earth.


 


Isaiah 54

Future Glory for Jerusalem
 1 “Sing, O childless woman,
      you who have never given birth!
   Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem,
      you who have never been in labor.
   For the desolate woman now has more children
      than the woman who lives with her husband,”
      says the Lord.
 2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition.
      Spread out your home, and spare no expense!
 3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams.
      Your descendants will occupy other nations
      and resettle the ruined cities.
 4 “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
      Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.
   You will no longer remember the shame of your youth
      and the sorrows of widowhood.
 5 For your Creator will be your husband;
      the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
   He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
      the God of all the earth.
