"How beautiful on
the mountains, are the feet of the messenger announcing peace, of the messenger
of good news, who proclaims salvation and says to Zion, ‘Your God is king!’ The
voices of your watchmen! Now they raise their voices, shouting for joy
together, for with their own eyes they have seen Yahweh returning to Zion. Break
into shouts together, shouts of joy, you ruins of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has
consoled his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. Yahweh has bared his
holy arm for all the nations to see, and all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God. Go away, go away, leave that place, do not touch anything
unclean. Get out of her, purify yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels! For you are not to hurry away, you are not to
leave like fugitives. No, Yahweh marches at your head and the God of Israel is
your rearguard" (Isa 52:7-10: NJB).
