Notes

Isaiah 62:10

highway: See also Isaiah 40:3; 57:14.
A banner for all nations to see serves as a signal. It directs foreigners to come to Zion for God's salvation. Earlier, a similar signal called for the nations to attack Judah (Isaiah 5:26).

Isaiah 62:10–12

This call to prepare for God’s coming salvation combines elements from all parts of Isaiah:

the proclamation (the banner, see Isaiah 5:26),
the preparation of the road (Isaiah 40:3; 57:14),
God's arrival with his reward (Isaiah 40:5, 9–10), and
the holy and redeemed people (Isaiah 35:8–10).

Isaiah 62:1–12

The servant here commits himself to proclaiming the good news continuously until the glory of Zion is realized.
