On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed (A)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (B)remind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;
And (C)give Him no rest until He establishes
And sets (D)Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.
(E)Yahweh 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)collect it will eat it and praise Yahweh;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

  1. Isaiah 62:8 Lit sons of foreigners

Upon your walls, Jerusalem, I appointed watchmen.
All day and all night they will never be silent.
You who keep reminding the Lord, do not rest!
Do not give him rest
until he establishes Jerusalem,
and he causes her to be praised on the earth.

The Lord swore by his right hand
and by his strong arm:
    I will certainly never again give up your grain as food
        for your enemies,
    and foreigners will not drink the sweet new wine you worked for.
    For those who pick fruit will eat it, and they will praise the Lord,
    and those who harvest grapes will drink in my holy courtyards.
