⁴ You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her
    and your land Married,
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.^(A)

⁵ For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so shall your builder^[a] marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.^(A)

¹⁴ Return, O faithless children,
            says the Lord,
    for I am your husband;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
    and I will bring you to Zion.^(A)
