Isaiah 62:8-63

^{Tools
8}

The Lord has sworn with His right hand
and His strong arm:
I will no longer give your grain
to your enemies for food,^(A)
and foreigners will not drink your new wine
you have labored for.

^{Tools

For those who gather grain will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
in My holy courts.

^{Tools

Go out, go out through the gates;
prepare a way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;^(B)
clear away the stones!
Raise a banner for the peoples.^(C)

^{Tools

Look, the Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:^(D)
Look, your salvation is coming,
His reward is with Him,^(E)
and His gifts accompany Him.”

^{Tools

And they will be called^(a) the Holy People,^(F)
the Lord’s Redeemed;
and you will be called Cared For,
A City Not Deserted.
