4 aYou shall no longer be termed bForsaken,
Nor shall your land any more be termed cDesolate;
But you shall be called1 Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
Nor shall your land any more be termed cDesolate;
But you shall be called1 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,
aSo shall your God rejoice over you.
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
aSo shall your God rejoice over you.
6 aI have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall1 never hold their peace day or night.
You who1 make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
They shall1 never hold their peace day or night.
You who1 make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer agive your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer agive your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ain My holy courts.”
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ain My holy courts.”
