Isaiah 62:6

Zion's New Identity

⁵
For as a young man marries a virgin [O Jerusalem],
So your sons will marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you. ⁶ 
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed and stationed watchmen (prophets),
Who will never keep silent day or night;
You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves,
⁷
And give Him no rest [from your prayers] until He establishes Jerusalem
And makes her a praise on the earth.
