Isaiah 62:4-6
Good News Translation
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.
6 On your walls, Jerusalem, I have placed sentries;
They must never be silent day or night.
They must remind the Lord of his promises
And never let him forget them.
Isaiah 62:4-6
New International Version
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(A)
or name your land Desolate.(B)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](C)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(D) in you,
and your land will be married.(E)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(F) rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(G) over you.

5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,
