The Jews: Pray Importunately For

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,

…nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.

For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’

Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
