General Information:

Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Jerusalem.

Make your tent larger ... strengthen your stakes

This continues the metaphor that began in Isaiah 54:1. Yahweh telling the people of Jerusalem to prepare because Yahweh will greatly increase their people is spoken of as if he is telling a woman to make her tent bigger to make room for many children. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

will conquer nations

Here "nations" represents the people. AT: "will conquer the people of other nations" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
