Isaiah 62:6-9

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Jerusalem, I have put guards on the walls to watch.
    They must not be silent day or night.
You people who remind the Lord
    should never be quiet.
⁷ You should not stop praying to the Lord until he builds up Jerusalem.
    Don’t stop until he makes Jerusalem a city all people will praise.

⁸ The Lord has made a promise.
    And by his power he will keep his promise.
He said, “I will never again give your grain
    as food to your enemies.
I will not let your enemies drink the wine
    that you have worked to make.
⁹ The person who gathers food will eat it.
    And he will praise the Lord.
The person who gathers the grapes will drink the wine
    in the courts of my Temple.”
