The LORD will make you prosperous in all that you do; you will have many children and a lot of livestock, and your fields will produce abundant crops. He will be as glad to make you prosperous as he was to make your ancestors prosperous,

Like a young man taking a virgin as his bride, He who formed you will marry you. As a groom is delighted with his bride, So your God will delight in you.

I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help.

The LORD your God is with you; his power gives you victory. The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you,

On the other hand, if I say that I am going to plant or build up any nation or kingdom,

I will watch over them and bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not pull them up.

And just as I took care to uproot, to pull down, to overthrow, to destroy, and to demolish them, so I will take care to plant them and to build them up.

I will plant my people on the land I gave them, and they will not be pulled up again." The LORD your God has spoken.

Israel, I will make you my wife; I will be true and faithful; I will show you constant love and mercy and make you mine forever.

I will keep my promise and make you mine, and you will acknowledge me as LORD.
