3 You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the Lord,a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No more shall you be called “Forsaken,”nor your land called “Desolate,”But you shall be called “My Delight is in her,”and your land “Espoused.”For the Lord delights in you,and your land shall be espoused.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,your Builder shall marry you;And as a bridegroom rejoices in his brideso shall your God rejoice in you.
6 Upon your walls, Jerusalem,I have stationed sentinels;By day and by night,they shall never be silent.You who are to remind the Lord,take no rest,
7 And give him no rest,until he re-establishes JerusalemAnd makes it the praise of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by his right handand by his mighty arm:No more will I give your grainas food to your enemies;Nor shall foreigners drink the wine,for which you toiled.
9 But those who harvest shall eat,and praise the Lord;Those who gather shall drinkin my holy courts.
