10 Pass through, pass through the gates,
    and clear a path for my people.
Build up, build up the highway;
    clear it of stones
    and lift up a standard over the nations.
11 The Lord has made this proclamation
    to the farthest bounds of the earth:
Say to the daughter of Zion,
    “See, your Savior comes!
His reward is with him
    and his recompense precedes him.”[a]
12 They will be called “The Holy People,”
    “The Redeemed of the Lord.”
And you will be called “Sought After,”
    “A City No Longer Forsaken.”
