10 Go out, go out through the city 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 wages are with him,(D)
and his reward accompanies 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.

  1. 62:12 Lit will call them

10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
    Make the way clear for[a] the people!
Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones![b]
    Lift up an ensign over the peoples!

11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth:

Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming!
    Look, his reward is with him,
    and his reward before him.
12 And they shall call them “The Holy People,[c] The Redeemed Of Yahweh,”
    and you[d] shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”
