Isaiah 52:7-12

English Standard Version

^7 (A)How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, ^(B)who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
⁸ The voice of ^(C)your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
^(D)for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
^9 (E)Break forth together into singing,
    ^(F)you waste places of Jerusalem,
for ^(G)the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
^10 (H)The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
^(I)and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.

^11 (J)Depart, depart, go out from there;
    touch no unclean thing;
go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves,
    ^(K)you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
¹² For you shall not ^(L)go out in haste,
    and you shall not go in flight,
^(M)for the Lord will go before you,
    ^(N)and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
