8The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”

Isaiah 62:10 Summary
Isaiah 62:10 is a call to action, urging us to prepare the way for others to follow God. It's like getting ready for a big journey, where we need to clear the road and raise a flag to show others the way. This verse reminds us that God is coming to save us, as promised in Isaiah 62:11, and we need to be ready. Just like the Israelites were freed from slavery in Exodus, we are called to freedom in Christ, as seen in Galatians 5:1, and to share this freedom with others.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of going out through the gates in Isaiah 62:10?
Going out through the gates symbolizes the people of God being set free and prepared for their journey, much like the Israelites leaving Egypt in Exodus 12:31-33, and it is a call to prepare the way for others to follow, as seen in Isaiah 40:3-5.
What does it mean to build up the highway in this verse?
Building up the highway represents the preparation and removal of obstacles for the people of God to travel on their journey, much like the highway of holiness in Isaiah 35:8-10, where the redeemed will walk.
Why is it important to raise a banner for the nations in Isaiah 62:10?
Raising a banner for the nations signifies the universal call to salvation, proclaiming the good news to all people, as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20 and Psalm 96:3, to declare God's marvelous deeds among all nations.
How does this verse relate to the return of the Savior, as mentioned in the surrounding verses?
This verse is a call to prepare for the coming of the Savior, as proclaimed in Isaiah 62:11, where it says 'See, your Savior comes', and it is a part of the larger narrative of God's redemption and restoration of His people, as seen in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19.
Reflection Questions
- What are some 'stones' in my life that need to be removed so that I can prepare the way for others to follow God?
- How can I 'raise a banner' for the nations in my daily life, proclaiming the good news of salvation to those around me?
- What does it mean for me to 'go out' through the gates, leaving behind the old and embracing the new, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:17?
- In what ways can I participate in building up the 'highway' for others to travel on their journey with God, as seen in Ephesians 4:11-13?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 62:10
Go through, go through the gates,.... Open them, and keep them open for persons to enter in; meaning not the gates of Jerusalem, which those in it should open for the reception of the Jews returning
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 62:10
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10
Go through, go through the gates; it is doubled by way of emphasis: q.d. Make haste to your own land; as if Cyrus should say, Get you out of captivity as soon as you will, . Or it may intimate an invitation issued out from them at Jerusalem to those that were scattered about in the captivity; therein possibly typifying the going of Christ’ s disciples into the various parts of the world, to bring those that were scattered up and down into the church. Or, Go meet the Gentiles, whom God purposeth to bring into the church, that by pure doctrine and your holy lives they may be the sooner won. Prepare ye the way; let them not have any obstructions in their way: he seems to call upon others to prepare the way for them; thus John was sent to prepare the way for Christ, as was prophesied, Isaiah 40 3; accordingly it is ordered to be cast up: see . Gather out the stones, that there be no stumbling-stone or offence in their way; or, q.d. Go to and fro, and remove every scandal that they may boggle at, . The former notes the certainty of their deliverance, harbingers sent before; this the speed of it, no impediment. Lift up a standard; an allusion to soldiers, that usually set up their standard, that the army may know whither to repair from all quarters; see ; and lifting of it up is, that it may be more visible; see ; and this is Christ held forth in the preaching of the gospel. For the people; or, over the people.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10
Isaiah 62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.Ver. 10. Go through, go through the gates.] Thus the prophet bespeaketh the teachers and keepers of the Church, with great alacrity of spirit, and most ardent affection; being, as it were, in a spiritual rapture. That which he exhorteth them to do, is rightly and faithfully to teach the people; and next, to take out of the way stumblingblocks, such as are heresies, soul offences, &c., to the scandal of the weak, and scorn of the wicked. Lift up a standard for the people,] q.d., Certa et solida urania constituite; settle all things fast and firm, that all men may be sure of their way, and what they ought to follow. It was a sad complaint of holy Melanchthon, Quos fugiamus habemus: quos sequamur, non intelligimus; but this lasted not long with those first famous reformers, whom the Lord soon set in a course.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10
(10) Go through . . .—Here, probably, we have the cry of the prophet himself (but, possibly, also that of the Servant of Jehovah) addressed to the heralds, who are to go forth and summon the exiles to return to the restored city. On the special phrases, see Notes on Isaiah 40:3; Isaiah 57:14. Lift up a standard for the people.—Literally, peoples, the plural indicating that the prophet thinks of the Gentile nations as escorting Israel. It follows from this that the command itself is addressed, like the previous clauses, to the returning exiles.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10
Verse 10. Of the people - "For the people"] Before the word העם haam, the people, two MSS. insert יהוה Yehovah; one MS. adds the same word after; and eight MSS., three ancient, instead of העם haam, have יהוה Yehovah, and so likewise one edition. But though it makes a good sense either way, I believe it to be an interpolation, as the ancient Versions do not favour it. The Septuagint indeed read עמי ammi, my people. - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 62:10
10–12. Announcement of the return of the exiles. The passage resembles ch. Isaiah 48:20 ff., Isaiah 52:11 f.; and at first sight it seems to imply that no exodus from Babylon has as yet taken place. This indeed has been the prevalent view of commentators, based on the assumption that the writer is the same as in the two parallels. But the secondary character of the passage, betrayed by the accumulated citations, is somewhat adverse to this hypothesis, and it will be seen that the language itself is susceptible of a different construction. It is certain that a return of exiled Israelites is announced, but there is nothing to exclude the supposition that (as in ch. Isaiah 60:4; Isaiah 60:9) the return of those who took advantage of the edict of Cyrus lies behind the prophet’s standpoint.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 62:10
Go through, go through the gates - The connection of this with what goes before is not very apparent, and there has been a great diversity of opinion in regard to it among interpreters.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10
10. Go through, go through — This is equivalent to, Pass on, pass on.
