- For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.
- The nations 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.
- You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
- 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.
- As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

- For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning.
- The nations will see your righteousness, And all kings your glory; And you will be called by a new name Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.
- You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
- It will no longer be said to you, "Forsaken," Nor to your land will it any longer be said, "Desolate"; But you will be called, "My delight is in her," And your land, "Married"; For the LORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married.
- For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your God will rejoice over you.
