^4 (A)You shall no more be termed ^(B)Forsaken,^[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,^[b]
(C)but you shall be called ^(D)My Delight Is in Her,^[c]
    and your land Married;^[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
⁵ For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so ^(E)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so ^(F)shall your God rejoice over you.

⁷ She shall pursue her lovers
    but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
    but shall not find them.
^(A)Then she shall say,
    ‘I will go and return to ^(B)my first husband,
    ^(C)for it was better for me then than now.’
