Isaiah 62:4-6
International Children’s Bible
4 You will never again be called the People that God Left.
Your land will never again be called the Land that God Destroyed.
You will be called the People God Loves.
Your land will be called the Bride of God.
This is because the Lord loves you.
And your land will belong to him as a bride belongs to her husband.
5 As a young man marries a woman,
so your children will marry your land.
As a man is very happy about his new wife,
so your God will be happy with you.
6 Jerusalem, I have put guards on the walls to watch.
They must not be silent day or night.
You people who remind the Lord
should never be quiet.
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.
