I have stationed watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. Day and night, they never stop calling out. You, too, must not rest or grow silent; keep reminding the Eternal to watch over Jerusalem. 7 Tirelessly pester God—give Him no rest—until He reestablishes Jerusalem and makes it worthy of praise throughout the whole world. 8 The Eternal has promised with all divine power and might: Eternal One: I will never again turn over your assets to your enemies, never feed them from your grain stores Or give them the wine you have labored to produce. 9 Instead, those who harvest the grain will eat its bounty, and offer praise to the Eternal; And those who gather the grapes will drink of their richness in the courtyards outside the temple. 10 So ready yourselves to pass through the gates, from old to new. Clear the way for the people; Make it clear, easy, and straight. Unfurl the banners that proclaim these people are renewed! |
