Isaiah 62:7-12

Listen to Isaiah 62:7-12
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.
10 Go out, go out through the gates; prepare a way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones! Raise a banner for the peoples.
11 Look, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, "Say to Daughter Zion: Look, your salvation is coming, His reward is with Him, and His recompense is before Him."
12 And they will be called[a] the Holy People, the Lord's Redeemed; and you will be called Cared For, A City Not Deserted.
