On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed and stationed watchmen (prophets),
Who will never keep silent day or night;
You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves,

And give Him no rest [from your prayers] until He establishes Jerusalem
And makes her a praise on the earth.

The Lord has sworn [an oath] by His right hand and by His mighty arm,
“I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will [the invading] foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

But they who have harvested it will eat it and praise the Lord,
And they who have gathered it will drink it [at the feasts celebrated] in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

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.
