On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed (A)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (B)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
And (C)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (D)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
(E)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty 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)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

  1. Isaiah 62:8 Lit sons of foreigners

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah’s remembrancers, [a]take ye no rest, and give him no [b]rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast labored: but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
