“Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.”
The summons to 'Set up waymarks, make yourself guideposts' instructs the exiled people to prepare for their return journey with concrete markers. The call 'Direct your attention to the highway, the way by which you went' emphasizes that the return will follow the same path as the exile. This prepares the people psychologically and practically for restoration.
