3 You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand,

a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 No longer will they call you Deserted,

or name your land Desolate.

But you will be called Hephzibah,

and your land Beulah;

for the Lord will take delight in you,

and your land will be married.

5 As a young man marries a young woman,

so will your Builder marry you;

as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,

so will your God rejoice over you.

3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,

and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,

but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,

and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman,

so shall your sons marry you,

and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

so shall your God rejoice over you.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;

Neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:

But thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah,

And thy land Beulah:

For the Lord delighteth in thee,

And thy land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin,

So shall thy sons marry thee:

And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,

So shall thy God rejoice over thee.

3 The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—

a splendid crown in the hand of God.

4 Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”

or “The Desolate Land.”

Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”

and “The Bride of God,”

for the Lord delights in you

and will claim you as his bride.

5 Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,

just as a young man commits himself to his bride.

Then God will rejoice over you

as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

3 You shall also be a crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,

Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;

But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;

For the Lord delights in you,

And your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

So shall your sons marry you;

And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

So shall your God rejoice over you.

3 You will be like a beautiful crown in the Lord’s hand,

like a king’s crown in your God’s hand.

4 You will never again be called the People that God Left,

nor your land the Land that God Destroyed.

You will be called the People God Loves,

and your land will be called the Bride of God,

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 rejoices over his new wife,

so your God will rejoice over you.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall thy God rejoice over thee.

3 Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord, 

a royal crown in the hand of your God. 

4 You will no longer be called Deserted, 

and your land will no longer be called Destroyed. 

But you will be named My Delight, 

and your land will be named Married. 

The Lord is delighted with you, 

and your land will be married. 

5 As a young man marries a woman, 

so your sons will marry you. 

As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, 

so your God will rejoice over you. 

3 You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,

and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

4 You will no longer be called Deserted,

and your land will not be called Desolate;

instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her,

and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land will be married.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman,

so your sons will marry you;

and as a groom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,

and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;

but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,

and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman,

so shall your builder marry you,

and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

so shall your God rejoice over you.

3 And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,

and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.

4 It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,”

and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”

but you will be called “My Delight Is In Her,”

and your land, “Married,”

for Yahweh delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

so shall your sons marry you,

and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride,

so shall your God rejoice over you.

3 You will be like a glorious crown in my strong hand.

You will be like a royal crown in my powerful hand.

4 People will not call you Deserted anymore.

They will no longer name your land Empty.

Instead, you will be called The One the Lord Delights In.

Your land will be named The Married One.

I will take delight in you.

And your land will be like a bride.

5 As a young man gets married to a young woman,

your people will marry you.

As a groom is happy with his bride,

I will be full of joy over you.”
