You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand,
    and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
You will not be called Forsaken any more,
    nor will your land be called Desolate any more;
but you will be called Hephzibah,[a]
    and your land Beulah;[b]
for Yahweh delights in you,
    and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
    so your God will rejoice over you.
