⁴ No longer will you be called “Forsaken,”
    nor will your land be known by the name “Desolate.”
Rather you will be called “My Delight Is in Her,”
    and your land will be known as “Married.”
For the Lord will take delight in you,
    and your land will be his spouse.
⁵ As a young man marries a virgin,
    so will your builder marry you,
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
    so will your God rejoice over you.

⁶ Upon your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have stationed sentinels.
Neither by day nor by night
    will they be silent.
You whose responsibility is to call upon the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,
