Isaiah 52:8-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their (A)voices,
They shout joyfully together;
For they will see [a]with their own eyes
When the Lord restores Zion.
9 (B)Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You (C)waste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has (D)redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared His holy (E)arm
In the sight of all the nations,
[b]That (F)all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
11 (G)Depart, depart, go out from there,
(H)Touch nothing unclean;
Go out of the midst of her, (I)purify yourselves,
You who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 But you will not go out in (J)haste,
Nor will you go [c]as fugitives;
For the (K)Lord will go before you,
And (L)the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
