1 The Lord says, "For the good of Zion I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem's benefit I will not remain quiet. I will not keep silent until its people's godliness shines like the sunrise. I will not remain quiet until they are saved and shine like a blazing torch.
2 Jerusalem , the nations will see that I have made everything right for you. All of their kings will see your glory. You will be called by a new name. I myself will give it to you.
3 You will be like a glorious crown in my strong hand. You will be like a royal crown in my powerful hand.
4 People will not call you Deserted anymore. They will no longer name your land Empty. Instead, you will be called The One the Lord Delights In. Your land will be named The Married One. I will take delight in you. And your land will be like a bride.
