Ruins of Jerusalem, be happy again!
Rejoice because the Lord
    comforted his people and set Jerusalem free.
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.
