Isaiah 52:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ How beautiful is the person
    who comes over the mountains to bring good news,
who announces peace
    and brings good news,
    who announces salvation
and says to Jerusalem,
    “Your God is King.”
⁸ Listen! Your guards are shouting.
    They are all shouting for joy!
They all will see with their own eyes
    when the Lord returns to Jerusalem.
⁹ Jerusalem, your buildings are destroyed now,
    but shout and rejoice together,
because the Lord has comforted his people.
    He has saved Jerusalem.
