Isaiah 62:6-9

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,

7 nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.

8 The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.

9 For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
