9. Jerusalem, your buildings are destroyed now.But shout and rejoice together.You can rejoice 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 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.The Lord will go before you.And the God of Israel will guard you from behind.
13. The Lord says, “See, my servant will act wisely.People will greatly honor and respect him.
14. Many people were shocked when they saw him.His appearance was so damaged he did not look like a man.His form was changed so much they could barely tell he was human.
15. But now he will sprinkle many people.Kings will be amazed and shut their mouths.They will see the things they had not been told about my servant.They will understand the things they had not heard.”
