Bible. Isaiah
23:062:004 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land
any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in
thee, and thy land shall be married.
23:062:005 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry
thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall
thy God rejoice over thee.
23:062:006 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall
never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of
the LORD, keep not silence,
23:062:007 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
23:062:008 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for
thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink
thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
23:062:009 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the
LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in
the courts of my holiness.
23:062:010 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the
people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones;
lift up a standard for the people.
23:062:011 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
23:062:012 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not
forsaken.
23:063:001 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in
the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness,
mighty to save.
23:063:002 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like
him that treadeth in the winefat?
23:063:003 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there
was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and
trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled
upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
23:063:004 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my
redeemed is come.
23:063:005 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that
there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought
salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
23:063:006 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them
drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the
earth.
