6. On your walls, Jerusalem,I have placed sentries;They must never be silent day or night.They must remind the Lord of his promisesAnd never let him forget them.
7. They must give him no rest until he restores JerusalemAnd makes it a city the whole world praises.
8. The Lord has made a solemn promise,And by his power he will carry it out:“Your corn will no longer be food for your enemies,And foreigners will no longer drink your wine.
9. But you that sowed and harvested the cornWill eat the bread and praise the Lord.You that tended and gathered the grapesWill drink the wine in the courts of my Temple.”
10. People of Jerusalem, go out of the cityAnd build a road for your returning people!Prepare a highway; clear it of stones!Put up a signal so that the nations can know
11. That the Lord is announcing to all the earth:“Tell the people of JerusalemThat the Lord is coming to save you,Bringing with him the people he has rescued.”
12. You will be called “God's Holy People”,“The People the Lord has Saved”.Jerusalem will be called “The City that God Loves”,“The City that God did not Forsake”.
