Context of Isaiah 62:11

9But they who have harvested it will eat it and praise the Lord, And they who have gathered it will drink it [at the feasts celebrated] in the courtyards of My sanctuary. 10Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a banner over the peoples. Listen carefully, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the Daughter of Zion, “Look now, your salvation is coming [in the Lord]; Indeed, His reward is with Him, and His restitution accompanies Him.” 12And they will call them “The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord”; And you will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Deserted.”
