Context of Isaiah 62:3

1For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent. For Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shines like the dawn and its salvation burns brightly like a torch. 2The nations will see your righteousness. All kings will see your glory. You will be given a new name that the Lord will announce. Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord, a royal crown in the hand of your God. 4You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will no longer be called Destroyed. But you will be named My Delight, and your land will be named Married. The Lord is delighted with you, and your land will be married. 5As a young man marries a woman, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
