Isaiah 62:7-12

7 and give Him no rest till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 The LORD hath sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength: "Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies, and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine for which thou hast labored;

9 but they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness."

10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world: "Say ye to the daughter of Zion, `Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with Him, and His work before Him.'"

12 And they shall call them the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and thou shalt be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.
