Isaiah 52:7-12

7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!

8The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for before their very eyes they see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.

9Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10The Lord has demonstrated his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

11Get out! Get out and leave your captivity, where everything you touch is unclean. Get out of there and purify yourselves, you who carry home the sacred objects of the Lord.

12You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you; yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind.
