Isaiah 62:1-5

Expanded Bible

62 ·Because I love Jerusalem [^LFor Zion’s sake], I will ·continue to speak for her [not be silent];
    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not ·stop speaking [be silent]
until her ·goodness [vindication; righteousness] shines like ·a bright light [brightness],
    until her salvation burns bright like a ·flame [torch].
² Jerusalem, the nations will see your ·goodness [righteousness; vindication],
    and all kings will see your glory.
Then you will ·have [^Lbe called by] a new name,
    which the [^Lmouth of the] Lord himself will ·give you [name].
³ You will be like a ·beautiful crown [crown of majesty/glory] in the Lord’s hand,
    like a ·king’s crown [royal diadem] in your God’s hand.
⁴ You will never again be called ·the People that God Left [^LAbandoned; Deserted],
    nor your land ·the Land that God Destroyed [Desolate].
You will be called ·the People God Loves [^LMy Delight Is In Her; ^THephzibah; ^Ca proper name],
    and your land will be called ·the Bride of God [^LMarried; ^TBeulah; ^Ca proper name],
because the Lord ·loves you [takes delight in you].
    And your land will ·belong to him as a bride belongs to her husband [be married].
⁵ As a young man marries a ·woman [young woman; virgin],
    so your ·children [or builder] will marry ·your land [^Lyou].
As a ·man [^Lbridegroom] rejoices over ·his new wife [the bride],
    so your God will rejoice over you.
