Context of Isaiah 62:11

9For those who gather grain will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine in my holy courts. 10Go out, go out through the city gates; prepare a way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones! Raise a banner for the peoples. Look, the Lord has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: Look, your salvation is coming, his wages are with him, and his reward accompanies him.” 12And they will be called the Holy People, the Lord’s Redeemed; and you will be called Cared For, A City Not Deserted.
