6-7 O Jerusalem, I have set intercessors[a] on your walls who shall cry to God all day and all night for the fulfillment of his promises. Take no rest, all you who pray, and give God no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes her respected and admired throughout the earth.

You raised it; you shall keep it, praising God. Within the Temple courts you yourselves shall drink the wine you pressed.”
