A new name

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles will see your righteousness and all kings your glory. You'll be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD will name. You'll also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You will no longer be called abandoned, nor will your land be called Desolate. You will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah, because the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married. Because as a young man marries a virgin, that's how your sons will marry you. And as a groom is glad over his bride, that's how your God will be glad over you.

For Zion's sake I won't keep quiet, and for Jerusalem's sake I won't rest, until her righteousness goes out like a bright light and her salvation like a burning torch. And the nations will see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory. And you'll be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give you. You'll be a crown of beauty in the Lord's hand, a royal headpiece in the hand of your God. You won't be called Left Behind any more, and your land won't be called Wasted any more. You'll be called My Delight Is In Her, and your land Married. Because the Lord takes delight in you, and your land will be married. Because as a young man marries a young woman, that's how your sons will marry you. And as a bridegroom is glad over his bride, that's how your God will be glad over you.

For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
