Isaiah 62:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵
For as a young man marries a virgin [O Jerusalem],
^[a]So your sons will marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you.

⁶
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed and stationed watchmen (prophets),
Who will never keep silent day or night;
You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves,
⁷
And give Him no rest [from your prayers] until He establishes Jerusalem
And makes her a praise on the earth.

Isaiah 62:5 The ancient rabbis interpreted marry in the sense of making a home with the bride, which would correspond to the resettling of Jerusalem by Israelites.
