7 And 1give Him no rest until He establishes And makes 2Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 3The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, "I will 4never 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 5garner 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, 6go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; 7Build up, build up the 8highway, Remove the stones, lift up a 9standard over the peoples.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the 10end of the earth, 11Say to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your 12salvation comes; 13Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him."
12 And they will call them, "14The holy people, The 15redeemed of the LORD "; And you will be called, "Sought out, a city 16not forsaken."
