Isaiah 62:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Upon your walls, Jerusalem,
    I have appointed sentinels.
Continually, all day and all night,
    they won’t keep silent.
You who call on the Lord, don’t rest,
⁷     and don’t allow God to rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem,
    and makes it the praise of the earth.
⁸ The Lord has promised
    with raised hand and strong arm:
    I will never again give your grain
    as food for your enemies.
    Foreigners won’t drink your wine
    for which you labored.
