Zephaniah 3:17
English Standard Version
17 (A)The Lord your God is in your midst,
(B)a mighty one who will save;
(C)he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Isaiah 54:5-10
English Standard Version
5 (A)For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of hosts is his name;
(B)and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
(C)the God of the whole earth he is called.
6 (D)For the Lord has called you
like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
says your God.
7 (E)For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 (F)In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
(G)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like (H)the days of Noah[a] to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and (I)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

4 (A)You shall no more be termed (B)Forsaken,[a]
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
