Isaiah 52:11-12

Zion Awakes, the Good News Is Announced, and the Servant Is Exalted

From Zion’s awakening and release from bondage, to the LORD’s explanation of redemption without money, to the heralding of good news and God’s reign, to the command for holy departure, to the astonishing exaltation and disfigurement of the Servant before the nations.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

12 For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
