I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,
    who shall never hold their peace day nor night.
You who remind the Lord,
    do not keep silent;
give Him no rest until He establishes
    and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by His right hand
    and by His strong arm:
Surely I will no longer give your grain
    as food for your enemies;
and the sons of the foreigners shall not drink your wine
    for which you have labored.
But those who have gathered it shall eat it
    and praise the Lord;
and those who have brought it shall drink it
    in the courts of My sanctuary.

I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem;
    all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
    And you must not give him rest until he establishes,
        and until he makes[a] Jerusalem an object of praise[b] in the earth.
Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
    and by his mighty arm,[c]
“Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,[d]
    and surely foreigners[e] shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh,
    and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.[f]
