Context of Isaiah 62:11

9Instead, the people who pick the grain at harvest time are the people who will eat it. And they will praise the Lord for it. The people who pick the grapes will drink the wine. They will drink it in the yards of my temple.’ 10Pass through the gates! Pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people to travel on. Build up the road! Make it strong! Remove the stones! Lift up a flag, so that the nations can see the way to go. Look! The Lord has this message for the whole earth: ‘Say to the people of Zion, “Look! Your Saviour is coming! Look again! He is bringing his gifts with him. He brings the prize that he has won.” ’ 12Their name will be ‘God's holy People’, and ‘The People that the Lord has redeemed’. And Jerusalem's name will be ‘The City where people are happy’, and ‘The City that is full of people’.
