No longer will they call you Deserted,(A)
    or name your land Desolate.(B)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](C)
    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(D) in you,
    and your land will be married.(E)
As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(F) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(G) over you.

I have posted watchmen(H) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,(I)
