Isaiah 62:4-6
New International Reader's Version
4 People will not call you Deserted anymore.
They will no longer name your land Empty.
Instead, you will be called One the Lord Delights In.
Your land will be named Married One.
That’s because the Lord will take delight in you.
And your land will be married.
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so your Builder will marry you.
As a groom is happy with his bride,
so your God will be full of joy over you.”
6 Jerusalem, I have stationed guards on your walls.
They must never be silent day or night.
You who call out to the Lord
must not give yourselves any rest.
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.
