Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem.
The Lord will comfort his people.
He will reclaim Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will show his holy power to all the nations.
All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

11 Run away! Run away!
Get away from there!
Do not touch anything unclean.[a]
Get away from it!
Make yourselves pure,
you Levites who carry the utensils for the Lord’s temple.
