6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed 1watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who 2remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;
7 And 3give Him no rest until He establishes And makes 4Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 5The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, "I will 6never again give your grain as food for your enemies; Nor will foreigners * drink your new wine for which you have labored."
9 But those who 7garner it will eat it and praise the LORD; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
10 Go through, 8go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; 9Build up, build up the 10highway, Remove the stones, lift up a 11standard over the peoples.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the 12end of the earth, 13Say to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your 14salvation comes; 15Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him."
12 And they will call them, "16The holy people, The 17redeemed of the LORD "; And you will be called, "Sought out, a city 18not forsaken."
