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

4 No longer will you be called Forsaken \Azubah/, nor your land named Desolate \Shemamah/; but you will be called Hephzibah (my delight is in her), and your land Beulah (married); for the LORD {YHWH} 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 {Eloheka} will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem (city of peace), I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You⁺ who call on the LORD {YHWH} shall take no rest for yourselves,

7 nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem (city of peace) and makes her the praise of the earth.

8 The LORD {YHWH} has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.

9 For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD {YHWH}, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”

10 Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!

11 Behold, the LORD {YHWH} has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”

12 And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD {YHWH}; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
