And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
There will be a highway there, a road that will be called 'The Holy Way.' Those who are spiritually unclean won't be able to travel on it. It will be for God's people alone. Even travelers who aren't wise will not get lost on this road.
God is promising a special path of holiness where His people can walk safely without getting lost or being corrupted by evil.
