Isaiah 62:9-11
New English Translation
9 But those who harvest the grain[a] will eat it,
and will praise the Lord.
Those who pick the grapes will drink the wine[b]
in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
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:[c]
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘Look, your deliverer comes!
Look, his reward is with him,
and his reward goes before him!’”[d]
