Do not give the Lord a chance to rest,
    until he has made Jerusalem strong again.
Continue to pray until he makes it a famous city
    that the whole world will praise.
The Lord makes a strong promise,
    and he has the power to make it happen.
He says:
‘I will never again take away your grain,
    and give it to your enemies for food.
Foreign soldiers will not drink your wine
    that you have worked very hard to make.
Instead, the people who pick the grain at harvest time
    are the people who will eat it.
And they will praise the Lord for it.
The people who pick the grapes
    will drink the wine.
They will drink it in the yards of my temple.’
