⁴ You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her
    and your land Married,
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.^(A)
5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so shall your builder^[a] marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.^(B)

²⁷ He subdues the ancient gods,^[a]
    shatters^[b] the forces of old;^[c]
he drove out the enemy before you
    and said, ‘Destroy!’^(A)
