and do not give him any silence until he fixes solidly, yes, until he sets Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.” (Isaiah 62:6, 7) In Jehovah’s due time after the return of the faithful remnant from Babylon, Jerusalem does become “a praise in the earth”​—a walled city providing safety to her inhabitants.

Working with the watchman class, the “great crowd” also plays a significant role in making Zion “a praise in the earth.”​—Revelation 7:9.

16. In what way do Jehovah’s servants “not give him any silence”?

¹⁶ Jehovah’s servants are encouraged to pray without ceasing, to ask God that his “will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:9, 10; 1 Thessalonians 5:17) They are exhorted: “Do not give [Jehovah] any silence” until the desires and hopes regarding the restoration of true worship are granted. Jesus stressed the need to pray constantly, urging his followers to “cry out to [God] day and night.”​—Luke 18:1-8.
