Isaiah 52:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Jerusalem, rise from the ruins!
    Join in the singing.
The Lord has given comfort
to his people;
    he comes to your rescue.
¹⁰ The Lord has shown all nations
    his mighty strength;
now everyone will see
    the saving power of our God.

^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.
