10 Pass 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!

    so that the nations can see the way to go.

‘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.” ’[a]

    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’.
