Isaiah 62:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 It shall no more be said unto thee, [a]Forsaken, neither shall it be said anymore to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called [b]Hephzibah, and thy land [c]Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shalt have an [d]husband.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons [e]marry thee: and as a bridegroom is glad of the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set [f]watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which all the day and all the night continual shall not cease: [g]ye that are mindful of the Lord, keep not silence,
