Isaiah 62:2-4
The Voice
2 Jerusalem, the nations of the world will witness your righteousness,
the most powerful world leaders will see your brilliance,
And you will be called something new, something brand new,
a name given by none other than the Eternal One.
3 And you will be the crowning glory of the Eternal’s power,
a royal crown cradled in His palm and held aloft by your God for all to see.
4 People won’t talk about you anymore
using words like “forsaken” or “empty.”
Instead, you will be called “My delight” and the land around you “Married,”
because the Eternal is pleased with you and has bound Himself to your land.
Isaiah 62:2-4
New International Version
2 The nations(A) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(B)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(C) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(D)
or name your land Desolate.(E)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](F)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(G) in you,
and your land will be married.(H)
