You will be a glorious crown in the hand of Adonai,
a royal diadem held by your God.
You will no longer be spoken of as ‘Azuvah [Abandoned]
or your land be spoken of as ‘Sh’mamah [Desolate];
rather, you will be called Heftzi-Vah [My-Delight-Is-In-Her]
and your land Be‘ulah [Married].
For Adonai delights in you,
and your land will be married —
as a young man marries a young woman,
your sons will marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
your God will rejoice over you.

You will be a crown(A) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
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)
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.
