So shall thy sons (Heb. thy Restorer) marry thee:

And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,

“So shall thy God rejoice over thee.

(Isa. lxii. 3-5, r.v.)

“The Lord hath appeared of old (or from afar) unto me, saying,

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love;

Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.

Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O Virgin of Israel....

He that scattered Israel will gather him,

And keep him as a shepherd doth his flock,
