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.’

and give him no rest(A) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(B) of the earth.

The Lord has sworn(C) by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(D)
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
but those who harvest it will eat(E) it
    and praise the Lord,(F)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”(G)
