Thou shalt also be a [b]crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

It shall no more be said unto thee, [c]Forsaken, neither shall it be said anymore to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called [d]Hephzibah, and thy land [e]Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shalt have an [f]husband.
