Isaiah 62:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³You will be like a glorious crown in my strong hand.
    You will be like a royal crown in my powerful hand.
⁴People will not call you Deserted anymore.
    They will no longer name your land Empty.
Instead, you will be called One the Lord Delights In.
    Your land will be named Married One.
That’s because the Lord will take delight in you.
    And your land will be married.
⁵As a young man marries a young woman,
    so your Builder will marry you.
As a groom is happy with his bride,
    so your God will be full of joy over you.”

³Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

⁴Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

⁵For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
