Isaiah 62:4-6
International Standard Version
4 And[a] you’ll no longer be called ‘Deserted,’
and your land will no longer be called ‘Desolate’;
but people will call you[b] ‘Hephzibah,’[c]
and your land ‘Beulah’[d]—
for the Lord will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.”
5 “For just as[e] a young man marries a maiden,
so your sons will marry you;
and just as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your God will rejoice over you.
6 “Upon your walls, Jerusalem,
I have posted watchmen;
all day and all night
they won’t[f] remain silent.
You who make mention of the Lord,
take no rest,
