Isaiah 52:8-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8. The voices of your watchmen —they lift up their voices,shouting for joy together;for every eye will seewhen the Lord returns to Zion.

9. Be joyful, rejoice together,you ruins of Jerusalem! For the Lord has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10. The Lord has displayed His holy armin the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will seethe salvation of our God.

11. Leave, leave, go out from there! Do not touch anything unclean;go out from her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12. For you will not leave in a hurry, and you will not have to take flight;because the Lord is going before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.

13. See, My Servant will act wisely; He will be raised and lifted up and greatly exalted.

14. Just as many were appalled at You —His appearance was so disfiguredthat He did not look like a man,and His form did not resemble a human being —

15. so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him,For they will see what had not been told them,and they will understand what they had not heard.
