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.

Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people ... gather out the stones. What Isaiah, in the person of Messiah, had engaged (in ) unrestingly to seek, and what the watchmen were unrestingly to pray for (), and what Yahweh solemnly promised (Isaiah 62:8), is now to be fulfilled: the Gentile nations are commanded to "go through the gates" (either of their own cities (Rosenmuller) or of Jerusalem) (Maurer), in order to remove all obstacles out of "the way of the people" (Israel) (note, ; ; Isaiah 52:10).

Lift up a standard for the people - for the dispersed Jews to rally round, with a view to their return (; ).
