Context of Isaiah 52:10
8Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices and shout together joyfully. When the Lord brings Zion back, they will see it with their own eyes. 9Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem. The Lord will comfort his people. He will reclaim Jerusalem. The Lord will show his holy power to all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. 11Run away! Run away! Get away from there! Do not touch anything unclean. Get away from it! Make yourselves pure, you Levites who carry the utensils for the Lord’s temple. 12You will not go away in a hurry, nor will you go away quickly. The Lord will go ahead of you. The God of Israel will guard you from behind.
