10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward.

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm(A)
    in the sight of all the nations,(B)
and all the ends of the earth(C) will see
    the salvation(D) of our God.

11 Depart,(E) depart, go out from there!
    Touch no unclean thing!(F)
Come out from it and be pure,(G)
    you who carry the articles(H) of the Lord’s house.
12 But you will not leave in haste(I)
    or go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,(J)
    the God of Israel will be your rear guard.(K)

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

13 See, my servant(L) will act wisely[a];
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.(M)
14 Just as there were many who were appalled(N) at him[b]
    his appearance was so disfigured(O) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness(P)
15 so he will sprinkle(Q) many nations,[c]
    and kings(R) will shut their mouths(S) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.(T)
