Isaiah 62:6-9
Christian Standard Bible
6 Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;(A)
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.
7 Do not give him rest
until he establishes and makes Jerusalem
the praise of the earth.(B)
8 The Lord has sworn with his right hand
and his strong arm:
I will no longer give your grain
to your enemies for food,(C)
and foreigners will not drink the new wine
for which you have labored.
9 For those who gather grain will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
in my holy courts.
Isaiah 62:6-9
New English Translation
6 I[a] post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they should keep praying all day and all night.[b]
You who pray to[c] the Lord, don’t be silent!
7 Don’t allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem,[d]
until he makes Jerusalem the pride[e] of the earth.
8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,
by his strong arm:[f]
“I will never again give your grain
to your enemies as food,
and foreigners will not drink your wine,
which you worked hard to produce.
9 But those who harvest the grain[g] will eat it,
and will praise the Lord.
Those who pick the grapes will drink the wine[h]
in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
