On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed (A)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (B)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
And (C)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (D)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
(E)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will (F)never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will [a]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
But those who (G)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, (H)go through the gates,
Clear a way [b]for the people!
(I)Build up, build up the (J)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a (K)flag over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the (L)end of the earth:
(M)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your (N)salvation is coming;
(O)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “(P)The holy people,
The (Q)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City (R)Not Abandoned.”
