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]

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.
