Isaiah

Isaiah 62:4–5

⁴No longer will you be called Forsaken,^a

nor your land named Desolate;^b

but you will be called Hephzibah,^c

and your land Beulah;^d

for the LORD will take delight in you,

and your land will be His bride.

⁵For as a young man marries a young woman,

so your sons will marry you;

and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.
