9. Jerusalem, your buildings are destroyed now,but shout and rejoice together,because the Lord has comforted his people.He has saved Jerusalem.
10. The Lord will show his holy powerto all the nations.Then everyone on earthwill see the salvation of our God.
11. You people, leave, leave; get out of Babylon!Touch nothing that is unclean.You men who carry the Lord’s things used in worship,leave there and make yourselves pure.
12. You will not be forced to leave Babylon quickly;you will not be forced to run away,because the Lord will go before you,and the God of Israel will guard you from behind.
