5. For as a young man marries a young woman,so your sons will marry you;and as a groom rejoices over his bride,so your God will rejoice over you.
6. Jerusalem,I have appointed watchmen on your walls; they will never be silent, day or night.There is no rest for you,who remind the Lord.
7. Do not give Him restuntil He establishes and makes Jerusalemthe praise of the earth.
8. The Lord has sworn with His right handand His strong arm:I will no longer give your grainto your enemies for food, and foreigners will not drink your new wineyou have labored for.
9. For those who gather grain will eat itand praise the Lord,and those who harvest the grapes will drink the winein My holy courts.
10. Go out, go out through the gates;prepare a way for the people!Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones!Raise a banner for the peoples.
11. Look, the Lord has proclaimedto the ends of the earth,“Say to Daughter Zion: Look, your salvation is coming,His reward is with Him, and His gifts accompany Him.”
12. And they will be called the Holy People, the Lord’s Redeemed;and you will be called Cared For,A City Not Deserted.
