Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people, make the road plain, pick out the stones, and lift up the standard to the people.
Ibn Ezra
Go through, etc. Having mentioned the prosperity of the land for the sake of the mourners for Zion, who will enjoy it without anxiety, the prophet continues to describe, how the deliverance of Israel from his exile, and his return to his own land will be with honour; the princes of the nations will say Go through, etc. that is, go through the gates to proclaim in every place Prepare the way of the people, clear it of stones, lift up a standard throughout the whole world.
