You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzi-bah, and your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married.

A New Identity in God

Commentators explain that God promises to replace the painful names "Forsaken" and "Desolate" with new names of honor: "Hephzi-bah" (My Delight is in Her) and "Beulah" (Married). This signifies a complete change in relationship, moving from abandonment to being the object of God's deep pleasure and intimately united with Him.
