Isaiah 62:1-5
Haiku of vindication
Claiming the True God
as their own, Israel feels shame
at so much failure.
The chosen people
are to be restored, after
their years of disgrace.
Their restoration
is hardly a reward, but
rather comes from grace.
God makes promises:
Zion's vindication will
be seen by nations.
A crown of beauty
and a royal diadem
in the hand of God.
Desolate no more,
nor forsaken; the nation
becomes God's delight.
Call the land “Married.”
God is joined to God's people
in deep commitment.
A bridegroom takes joy
in his bride; so God takes joy
in Zion's children.
