Isaiah 62:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 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;
7 And (C)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (D)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
8 (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.”
9 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.

Isaiah 62:6-9
New Living Translation
6 O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;
they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
7 Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work,
until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength:
“I will never again hand you over to your enemies.
Never again will foreign warriors come
and take away your grain and new wine.
9 You raised the grain, and you will eat it,
praising the Lord.
Within the courtyards of the Temple,
you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed.”
