Isaiah 62:6-12
New International Version
6 I have posted watchmen(A) on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,(B)
7 and give him no rest(C) till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise(D) of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn(E) by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(F)
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat(G) it
and praise the Lord,(H)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”(I)
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!(J)
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!(K)
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner(L) for the nations.
11 The Lord has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:(M)
“Say to Daughter Zion,(N)
‘See, your Savior comes!(O)
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.’”(P)
12 They will be called(Q) the Holy People,(R)
the Redeemed(S) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.(T)
Isaiah 62:6-12
King James Version
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 62:6-12
New King James Version
6 (A)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall [a]never hold their peace day or night.
You who [b]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (B)a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (C)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (D)in My holy courts.”
10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
(E)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
(F)Lift up a banner for the peoples!
11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
(G)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His (H)reward is with Him,
And His [c]work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
