Isaiah 62:10-12
New English Translation
10 Come through! Come through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people!
Build it—Build the roadway!
Remove the stones.
Lift a signal flag for the nations.
11 Look, the Lord announces to the entire earth:[a]
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘Look, your deliverer comes!
Look, his reward is with him,
and his reward goes before him!’”[b]
12 They will be called, “The Holy People,
the Ones Protected[c] by the Lord.”
You will be called, “Sought After,
City Not Abandoned.”
