Married to the Land!

THE LORD SAYS. .

FOR ZIONS SAKE. .I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT!
FOR JERUSALEM SAKE I WILL NOT KEEP QUIET UNTIL HER RIGHTEOUSNESS SHINES OUT LIKE THE DAWN!

THE NATIONS WILL SEE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND KINGS YOUR GLORY!

AND YOU WILL BE CALLED BY A NEW NAME!
THE MOUTH OF THE LORD WILL BESTOW!

YOU WILL BE A CROWN OF SPLENDOR IN THE LORDS 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!  (My delight is in her.)
AND YOUR LAND BEULAH!  (Married)

FOR THE LORD TAKES 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!
