10 Go out, go out through the gates;
prepare a way for the people!
Build it up, build up the highway;(A)
clear away the stones!
Raise a banner for the peoples.(B)
11 Look, the Lord has proclaimed
to the ends of the earth,
“Say to Daughter Zion:(C)
Look, your salvation is coming,
His reward is with Him,(D)
and His gifts accompany Him.”
12 And they will be called[a] the Holy People,(E)
the Lord’s Redeemed;
and you will be called Cared For,
A City Not Deserted.

10 Go out through the gates!
    Prepare the highway for my people to return!
Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders;
    raise a flag for all the nations to see.
11 The Lord has sent this message to every land:
    “Tell the people of Israel,[a]
‘Look, your Savior is coming.
    See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.’”
12 They will be called “The Holy People”
    and “The People Redeemed by the Lord.”
And Jerusalem will be known as “The Desirable Place”
    and “The City No Longer Forsaken.”
