Isaiah 62:6-12

6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day or night. Whoever calls on the LORD, do not give yourselves any rest,
7 and do not give him any rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it an object of praise throughout the earth.
8 The LORD has sworn with his right hand and with his mighty arm, "I will never again let your enemies eat your grain, nor will foreigners drink the new wine which you made."
9 Those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD. Those who gather grapes will drink wine in my holy courtyards.
10 Go through! Go through the gates! Prepare a way for the people! Build up! Build up the highway! Clear away the stones! Raise a flag for the people!
11 The LORD has announced to the ends of the earth: "Tell my people Zion, 'Your Savior is coming. His reward is with him, and the people he has won arrive ahead of him.'"
12 They will be called Holy People, Those Reclaimed by the LORD, and you will be called Sought After, a City Not Deserted.
