Context of Isaiah 62:2

1I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch. Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be given a new name that the Lord’s mouth will announce. 3You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God’s hand. 4You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead, you will be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land will be married.
