For as a young man marries a young woman who has never had a man, your sons will marry you. And as the man to be married finds joy in his bride, so your God will find joy in you.

As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(A) rejoices over his bride,

I have posted watchmen(C) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,(D)
and give him no rest(E) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(F) of the earth.
