Isaiah 62:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ Jerusalem, I have put guards on the walls to watch.
    They must not be silent day or night.
You people who remind the Lord of your needs in prayer
    should never be quiet.
⁷ You should not stop praying to him until he builds up Jerusalem
    and makes it a city all people will praise.

⁸ The Lord has made a promise,
    and by his power he will keep his promise.
He said, “I will never again give your grain
    as food to your enemies.
I will not let your enemies drink the new wine
    that you have worked to make.
