No longer will you be called “Forsaken,”
    nor will your land be known by the name “Desolate.”
Rather you will be called “My Delight Is in Her,”
    and your land will be known as “Married.”
For the Lord will take delight in you,
    and your land will be his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin,
    so will your builder marry you,
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
    so will your God rejoice over you.

    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(D) in you,
    and your land will be married.(E)
As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(F) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(G) over you.
