Isaiah 62:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Jerusalem, on your walls
I have stationed guards,
    whose duty it is
to speak out day and night,
    without resting.
They must remind the Lord
⁷     and not let him rest
till he makes Jerusalem strong
    and famous everywhere.

⁸ The Lord has given his word
    and made this promise:
“Never again will I give
    to your enemies
the grain and grapes
    for which you struggled.
