9
(A)Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You (B)waste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has (C)redeemed Jerusalem.
10
The Lord has bared His holy (D)arm
In the sight of all the nations,
(a)That (E)all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
11
(F)Depart, depart, go out from there,
(G)Touch nothing unclean;
Go out of the midst of her, (H)purify yourselves,
You who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12
But you will not go out in (I)haste,
Nor will you go (b)as fugitives;
For the (J)Lord will go before you,
And (K)the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
