62:1

Module 15: The Investiture of the New Name and the Watchmen of the Wall

For Tziyon's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Yarushalayim's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness (tzedaqah) thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
62:2
And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory (kabod): and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall name.
62:3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy Elohim.
62:4

The End of Azubah and Shemamah

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken (Azubah); neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate (Shemamah): but thou shalt be called My-Delight-is-in-Her (Chephtzi-bah), and thy land Married (Ba'ulah): for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
62:5
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 Elohim rejoice over thee.
62:6

The Appointment of the Watchmen

I have set watchmen (shomeriym) upon thy walls, O Yarushalayim, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, keep not silence,
62:7
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Yarushalayim a praise in the earth.
62:8

The Oath by the Right Hand

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 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:
62:9
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
62:10

The Command to Pass Through the Gates

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 peoples.
62:11
Behold, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Tziyon, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
62:12
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
