Isaiah 62:4-6
The Voice
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.
5 As a young man marries the woman he loves,
so your sons will marry you, Jerusalem.
As a groom takes joy in his bride,
so your God will take joy in you.
6 I have stationed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
Day and night, they never stop calling out.
You, too, must not rest or grow silent;
keep reminding the Eternal to watch over Jerusalem.
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.
