Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord,
a royal crown in the hand of your God.
You will no longer be called Deserted,
and your land will no longer be called Destroyed.
But you will be named My Delight,
and your land will be named Married.
The Lord is delighted with you,
and your land will be married.
As a young man marries a woman,
so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so 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.
