A highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but is shall be for for him who walks in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.

The Highway to God

Commentators widely interpret the "highway" not just as a physical road for returning exiles, but as a spiritual path to God. Scholars like John Gill state plainly that Christ Himself is this "Way of holiness." It is a clear, open, and secure path of salvation provided by God for His people, leading them safely to Him.
