Jerusalem, also called Zion, was Judah’s covenant city and the site of the temple, representing God’s dwelling among his people. In this promise of restoration, Zion’s former desolation is reversed as God delights in her and renews her relationship with her like a bridegroom rejoicing over a bride.
