62:6 I 1 post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they should keep praying all day and all night. 2
You who pray to 3 the Lord, don’t be silent!
64:12 In light of all this, 4 how can you still hold back, Lord?
How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?

I will not keep silent, but will pay them back;
I will pay them back exactly what they deserve, 6
