You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Adonai,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will you be termed “Forsaken”,
no longer your land termed “Desolate”.
Instead you will be called, “My Delight is in Her”
    and your land, “Married”.
For Adonai delights in you,
and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over a 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.
