Isaiah 62:4

2 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.

3 You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.

5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,
