Isaiah 52:11-13

Contemporary English Version

^11 (A) Leave the city of Babylon!
    Don't touch anything filthy.
Wash yourselves. Be ready
to carry back everything sacred
    that belongs to the Lord.
¹² You won't need to run.
    No one is chasing you.
The Lord God of Israel
will lead and protect you
    from enemy attacks.

¹³ The Lord says:
    My servant will succeed!
He will be given great praise
    and the highest honors.
