Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
    and by his mighty arm,[a]
“Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,[b]
    and surely foreigners[c] shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh,
    and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.[d]
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
    Make the way clear for[e] the people!
Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones![f]
    Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
