and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,[fn]
and your land Married;[fn]
for the LORD delights in you,
and your land shall be married.

until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it a praise in the earth.

to be food for your enemies,
and foreigners shall not drink your wine
for which you have labored;

and praise the LORD,
and those who gather it shall drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”[fn]

prepare the way for the people;

clear it of stones;
lift up a signal over the peoples.

to the end of the earth:
Say to the daughter of Zion,
“Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.”

Isa 62:12And they shall be called The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the LORD;
and you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
