Context of Isaiah 62:9

7And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth. 8The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies, Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.” But those who harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord; And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary. 10Go through, go through the gates, Clear a way for the people! Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a flag over the peoples. 11Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation is coming; Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
