Isaiah 62:5
For as a young man marries a young woman,
What it says
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so God rejoices over Zion.
What it is doing
This verse deepens the restoration image by framing it as joyful covenant union.
In context
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, 2Nations will see your righteousness, 3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, 4No longer will you be called Forsaken, 5For as a young man marries a young woman, 6On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; 7nor give Him any rest 8The LORD has sworn by His right hand 9For those who harvest grain 10Go out, go out through the gates; 11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed 12And they will be called the Holy People,
