Thou shalt not more be termed forsaken:neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate;but thou shalt be called Hephzibah,and thy land Beulah;for the Lord delitheth in thee,and thy land shall be married.Isaiah62;4

More messianic prophecy as much of isaiah is. It tells of the coming of christ and the naming of christins among both the jews and the gentiles. this speaks of christs everlasting kingdom. if you mead the preceding verses its easy to understand, and by the way your scripture comes from the king james version of the bible and despite the opposition you gotten twice now that remains the most accurate translation to the hebrew texts. Many of the "easier to read" translations remove the meaning of the scriptures by losing the hebrew translation. 4 years of studying hebrew in seminary helped me to see this
Isaiah 62
1For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

You need to read the whole Chapter. It is one of those prophecies written long after it happened. Uzziah is wailing about the evils of society and saying that if people pray and act holy God will save them. It did not work.

that is a funny translation you have there and makes it difficult to understand. also you need to read it in context. Isaiah is saying that he will commit to pray for Jerusalem. He is praying that God will not forget the land, but it will be blessed and that God will call it his place
