(A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all (B)kings your glory.
(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
You shall also be (D)a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
(E)You shall no longer be termed (F)Forsaken,[a]
Nor shall your land any more be termed (G)Desolate;[b]
But you shall be called [c]Hephzibah, and your land [d]Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
(H)So shall your God rejoice over you.

The nations(A) will see your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(B)
    that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
You will be a crown(C) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will they call you Deserted,(D)
    or name your land Desolate.(E)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](F)
    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(G) in you,
    and your land will be married.(H)
As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(I) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(J) over you.
