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.”
10Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!
11Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 62:11
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,.... This is not to be interpreted of the proclamation by Cyrus, giving liberty to the people of the Jews to return to their own land, for
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 62:11
Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 62:11
The Lord hath proclaimed: this may be understood of Cyrus’ s proclamation, being thereunto directed by God: see , &c. To the daughter of Zion, i.e. to Jerusalem, or the church: the sum of which proclamation is in the, following words. Thy salvation cometh; either, 1. The time of it is come, 60:1. Or rather, 2. The person that effects it, thy Saviour, by a metonymy of the efficient, . His work, i.e. the reward due to the work, the same thing with the former: See Poole "". Or, his work is ready cut out for him which he is to do. Or, he will industriously set himself about the work that is before him, ; and he is said to bring it with him, viz. the reward that he will give to his true worshippers; or, he brings eternal salvation with him, or the reward of redemption, which is the subject of the next chapter.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 62:11
Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.Ver. 11. Behold, thy salvation cometh,] i.e., Christ thy Saviour. Behold, his reward is with him.] See on Isaiah 40:10. The three "beholds" in this verse should he well weighed. And his work before him,] i.e., That which he worketh for us and in us, rewarding the work of his own free grace.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 62:11
(11) The Lord hath proclaimed . . .—A partial fulfilment of the words is found in the decree of Cyrus (Ezra 1:1-2); but they have also a wider range, and take in all the events by which history becomes as the voice of God, proclaiming His will. The end of the world has been restricted by some commentators to the western regions of the Mediterranean, but without sufficient reason. Behold, his reward is with him.—Repeated from Isaiah 40:10, where see Notes.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 62:11
Verse 11. Unto the end of the world] אל קצה הארץ el ketseh haarets - Instead of אל el, to, עד ad, UNTO, is the reading of two of Kennicott's MSS.; and one of mine has מקצה mikketseh, "FROM the end of the earth." Behold, thy salvation cometh - "Lo, thy Saviour cometh"] So all the ancient Versions render the word ישעך yishech. Behold, his reward] See Clarke on Isaiah 40:10; "Isaiah 40:11". This reward he carries as it were in his hand. His work is before him - he perfectly knows what is to be done; and is perfectly able to do it. He will do what God should do, and what man cannot do; and men should be workers with him. Let no man fear that the promise shall not be fulfilled on account of its difficulty, its greatness, the hinderances in the way, or the unworthiness of the person to whom it is made. It is God's work; he is able to do it, and as willing as he is able.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 62:11
11. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world] Cf. ch. Isaiah 48:20. There redeemed Israel is enjoined to declare to all the world the great salvation it has experienced; here Jehovah Himself makes it known. thy salvation cometh] Instead of “the Lord God shall come” in ch. Isaiah 40:10. Behold his reward is with him &c.] Repeated from Isaiah 40:10 (see on the passage). The chief Ancient Versions seem to have felt the want of a personal antecedent to the pronouns; hence they render in the previous clause “thy Saviour” for “thy salvation.”
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 62:11
Behold the Lord hath proclaimed - Proclamation is made to all nations that Yahweh is about to come and rescue his people. Say ye to the daughter of Zion - To Jerusalem (see the notes at Isaiah 1:8).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 62:11
11. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed — Better, Jehovah proclaimeth. The message is to go to the ends of the earth.
