Isaiah 62:6-9

Listen to Isaiah 62:6-9
6 Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night. You, who remind the Lord, no rest for you!
7 Do not give Him rest until He establishes and makes her Jerusalem the praise of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn with His right hand and His strong arm: I will no longer give your grain to your enemies for food, and foreigners will not drink your new wine you have labored for.
9 For those who gather grain will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who harvest the grapes will drink [the wine] in My holy courts.
