You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,
and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.(A)
You will no longer be called Deserted,(B)
and your land will not be called Desolate;
instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her,[a]
and your land Married;[b](C)
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
so your sons will marry you;
and as a groom rejoices[c] over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.(D)
