Yesaya 62:8-9

62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,

by his strong arm:²³

“I will never again give your grain

to your enemies as food,

and foreigners will not drink your wine,

which you worked hard to produce.

62:9 But those who harvest the grain²⁴ will eat it,

and will praise the Lord.

Those who pick the grapes will drink the wine²⁵

in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
