3 You will be a splendid garland in the Lord’s hand,a royal turban in the palm of God’s hand.
4 You will no longer be called Abandoned,and your land will no longer be called Deserted.Instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her,and your land, Married.Because the Lord delights in you,your land will be cared for once again.
5 As a young man marries a young woman,so your sons will marry you.With the joy of a bridegroom because of his bride,so your God will rejoice because of you.
6 Upon your walls, Jerusalem,I have appointed sentinels.Continually, all day and all night,they won’t keep silent.You who call on the Lord, don’t rest,
7 and don’t allow God to restuntil he establishes Jerusalem,and makes it the praise of the earth.
8 The Lord has promisedwith raised hand and strong arm:I will never again give your grainas food for your enemies.Foreigners won’t drink your winefor which you labored.
9 Those who harvest will eat itand will praise the Lord;those who gather will drink itin my holy courtyards.
