10 Go through, (A)go through the gates,
Clear a way [a]for the people!
(B)Build up, build up the (C)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a (D)flag over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the (E)end of the earth:
(F)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your (G)salvation is coming;
(H)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “(I)The holy people,
The (J)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City (K)Not Abandoned.”

    prepare the way for the people!
Build up! Build up the highway!
    Clear it of stumbling stones,[b]

See, his reward is with him,
