Isaiah 62:6-9

Listen to Isaiah 62:6-9
6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set 1watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it 2a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn 3by his right hand and by his mighty arm: ā€œI will not again give 4your grain to be food for your enemies, 5and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored;
9 but 6those who garner it shall eat it and praise the Lord, and 7those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary. ā€ [a]
