Jerusalem, your buildings have become heaps of stones,
    but now you can all shout together with joy!
Sing aloud, because the Lord has comforted his people.
    He has made Jerusalem safe again.
10 The Lord has shown all the nations how strong he is.
    They can all see his holy power.
People all over the world will know
    that our God has rescued his people.
11 Leave! Leave! Go out from there.[a]
    Do not touch anything that is unclean.
    Leave that foreign place!
The people who carry the Lord's special things
    must keep themselves pure.
