Isaiah, as an Old Testament man, prophesies about God’s judgment and reward for the faithful.
Isaiah LXV, 10 – valley
– ‘emeq’ (pronounced like ‘emek’) – a place
where you can renew your strength (moving in a mountainous area requires

increase, renew — an image understood by shepherds and residents of
areas where there is no plain).
To leave the name
is to lose power, that is, in the Kingdom of God
evil people will lose all power.
Swear by name
is here synonymous with power (people swore as a sign
of certainty, and therefore of the power of their words). That is, in
the Kingdom of God, the faithful will have strength from God.

The prophecy about the New Testament, and then – about the Incarnation of the Son of God and the virginity of the Mother of God – before Christmas, at Christmas and after Christmas - in the image of a gate through which only the Lord, not a man, passed.
The glory of the Lord here is the glory (gifted to) of the Mother of God, who is higher than the angels.
One can see in Wisdom here the Son of God, and her house is the Mother of God – that is, the fact that the Mother of God served the economy of God, the deed of saving people and building the Church through serving the Incarnation of the Son of God and His growth as a human.
