1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
5For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
