9Burst into songs of joy together,

you ruins of Jerusalem,

for the Lord has comforted his people,

he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10The Lord will lay bare his holy arm

in the sight of all the nations,

and all the ends of the earth will see

the salvation of our God.

11Depart, depart, go out from there!

Touch no unclean thing!

Come out from it and be pure,

you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12But you will not leave in haste

or go in flight;

for the Lord will go before you,

the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

13See, my servant will act wisely^b;

he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

14Just as there were many who were appalled at him^c—

his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man

and his form marred beyond human likeness—

15so will he sprinkle many nations,^d

and kings will shut their mouths because of him.

For what they were not told, they will see,

and what they have not heard, they will understand.
