1. 9 Break out, shout for joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem,
   because the Lord is comforting his people.
   He is redeeming Jerusalem.
   10 The Lord lays bare[a] his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations,
   and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation from our God.

   11 Get away! Get away! Get out of there!
   Do not touch any unclean thing!
   Go out from her midst.
   Purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the Lord!
   12 You will not be in a hurry when you go out.
   You will not be fleeing when you walk out,
   because the one who walks in front of you is the Lord,
   and your rearguard is the God of Israel.

   13 Look, my servant will succeed.[b]
   He will rise. He will be lifted up. He will be highly exalted.
   14 Just as many were appalled at him[c]—
   his appearance was so disfigured that he did not look like a man,
   and his form was disfigured more than any other person—
   15 so he will sprinkle[d] many nations,
   and kings will shut their mouths because of him,
   because they will see something they had never been told before,
   and they will understand something they had never heard before. – Isaiah 52:9-15 (EHV)
