Zephaniah 3:17
New King James Version
17 The Lord your God (A)in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
(B)He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Isaiah 54:5-10
New King James Version
5 (A)For your Maker is your husband,
The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called (B)the God of the whole earth.
6 For the Lord (C)has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.
7 “For(D) a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies (E)I will gather you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
(F)But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “For this is like the waters of (G)Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with (H)you, nor rebuke you.
10 For (I)the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
(J)But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
Jeremiah 32:41
New King James Version
41 Yes, (A)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and (B)I will [a]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’

Ephesians 5:25-29
New King James Version
25 (A)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and (B)gave Himself for her, 26 that He might [a]sanctify and cleanse her (C)with the washing of water (D)by the word, 27 (E)that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, (F)not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

New King James Version
4 (A)You shall no longer be termed (B)Forsaken,[a]
Nor shall your land any more be termed (C)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.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
(D)So shall your God rejoice over you.
