On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed (A)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (B)remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
And (C)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (D)Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
(E)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong 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)garner it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

and never again will foreigners drink the new wine

    and praise the Lord,(H)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”(I)
