They will no longer call you by the name ‘Alone’.
    They will not call your land ‘Empty place’.
Instead, they will call you ‘The one that makes God happy’.
    The name of your land will be ‘Married’.
Yes, the Lord will be very happy with you.
    Your land will be his bride.
As a young man marries a pure young woman,
    so your sons will marry you, Jerusalem.[a]
Your God will be very happy that you belong to him,
    as a bridegroom is happy with his new wife.

They should never be quiet,
    during the day and during the night.
You people who cause the Lord to remember his promises,
    never stop and rest!
