10 The Lord showed his holy strength to all the nations.
    All the faraway countries saw how God saved his people.

11 So leave Babylon!
    Leave that place!
Priests, you carry the things that belong to the Lord.
    So make yourselves pure.
    Don’t touch anything that is not pure.
12 You will leave Babylon,
    but they will not force you to leave in a hurry.
    You will not be forced to run away.
The Lord will be in front of you.
    The God of Israel will be behind you.[a]
