| This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.1 |
| Thou shalt be called Hephzibah, … for the Lord delighteth in thee, … and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.2 – He hath sent me … to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.3 |
| I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, … as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.4 |
| I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.5 |
| Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?6 |
