CHAP. LXII.

1 The great desire that the Prophetes haue had for Christs comming. 6 The diligence of the Pastors to preache.

1 FOr Zions sake I wil nota 1.1 holde my tongue and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vn∣til the righteousnes thereof breake forthe as theb 1.2 light, and saluacion thereof a bur∣ning lampe.

2 And the Gentiles shal se thy righteousnes, and all Kings thy glorie: and thou shalt be called byc 1.3 a newe name, which the mouth of the Lord shal Name.

3 Thou shalt also be ad 1.4 crowne of glorie in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diademe in the hand of thy God.

4 It shal no more he said vnto thee,e 1.5 Forsaken nether shal it be said any more to thy lād, De solate, but thou shalt be called“ 1.6 Hephzi-báh & thy land“ 1.7 Beuláh: for the Lord deliteth in

thee, and thy land shal haue anf 1.8 housband.

5 For (as) a yong man marieth a virgine, (so) shal thy sonnesg 1.9 mary thee: and (as) a bride∣grome is glad of the bride, (so) shal thy God reioyce ouer thee.

6 I haue seth 1.10 watche men vpon thy walles, ô Ierusalém, which all the daie and all the night continually shal not cease:i 1.11 ye that are minde 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Lord, kepe not silence,

7 And giue him no rest, til he repaire and vntil he set vp Ierusalē thek 1.12 praise of the worlde.

8 The Lord hathe sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meat for thine enemies and surely the sonnes of the strāgers shal not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast la bored.

9 But they that haue gathered it, shal eat it, and praise the Lord, & the gatherers thereof shal drinke it in the courts of my Sanctuarie.

10 l 1.13 Go through, go through the gates: prepa∣re you the waye for the people: cast vp, cast vp the waye, and gather out the stones (and) set vp a standart for the people.

11 Beholde, the Lord hathe proclaimed vnto the ends of the worlde:m 1.14 tel the daughter Ziōn, Beholde, thy Sauiour cōmeth: beholde his wagesn 1.15 (is) with him, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 his worke (is) before him.

12 And they shal call thē, The holie people, the redemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be na∣med, Ao 1.16 citie soght out (and) not forsaken.
