Isaiah 62:3-5
Good News Translation
3 You will be like a beautiful crown for the Lord.
4 No longer will you be called “Forsaken,”
Or your land be called “The Deserted Wife.”
Your new name will be “God Is Pleased with Her.”
Your land will be called “Happily Married,”
Because the Lord is pleased with you
And will be like a husband to your land.
5 Like a young man taking a virgin as his bride,
He who formed you will marry you.
As a groom is delighted with his bride,
So your God will delight in you.
Isaiah 62:3-5
New International Version
3 You will be a crown(A) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(B)
or name your land Desolate.(C)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](D)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(E) in you,
and your land will be married.(F)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(G) rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(H) over you.
