6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Yerushalayim; they shall never hold their shalom day nor night: you who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7 and give him no rest, until he establish, and until he make Yerushalayim a praise in the eretz.
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the eretz, Say you to the daughter of Tziyon, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
