    and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”
but you will[a] be called “My Delight Is In Her,”

    and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so shall your sons marry you,
and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride,

    all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
