Context of Isaiah 52:10
8Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Yhwh shall bring again Zion. 9Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for Yhwh hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. Yhwh hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 11Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Yhwh. 12For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for Yhwh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
