11 Depart, depart, go out from there!

Touch no unclean thing!

Come out from it and be pure,

you who carry the articles of the Lord’s house.

12 But you will not leave in haste

or go in flight;

for the Lord will go before you,

the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;

Go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For ye shall not go out with haste,

Nor go by flight:

For the Lord will go before you;

And the God of Israel will be your rereward.

11 Get out! Get out and leave your captivity,

where everything you touch is unclean.

Get out of there and purify yourselves,

you who carry home the sacred objects of the Lord.

12 You will not leave in a hurry,

running for your lives.

For the Lord will go ahead of you;

yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind.

11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there,

Touch no unclean thing;

Go out from the midst of her,

Be clean,

You who bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For you shall not go out with haste,

Nor go by flight;

For the Lord will go before you,

And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

11 You people, leave, leave; get out of Babylon!

Touch nothing that is unclean.

You men who carry the Lord’s things used in worship,

leave there and make yourselves pure.

12 You will not be forced to leave Babylon quickly;

you will not be forced to run away,

because the Lord will go before you,

and the God of Israel will guard you from behind.

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah. 12 For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.

11 —Depart, depart, go out from thence, touch not what is unclean; go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah. 12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear-guard.

11 Run away! Run away! 

Get away from there! 

Do not touch anything unclean.

Get away from it! 

Make yourselves pure, 

you Levites who carry the utensils for the Lord’s temple. 

12 You will not go away in a hurry, 

nor will you go away quickly. 

The Lord will go ahead of you. 

The God of Israel will guard you from behind. 

11 Leave, leave, go out from there!

Do not touch anything unclean;

go out from her, purify yourselves,

you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12 For you will not leave in a hurry,

and you will not have to take flight;

because the Lord is going before you,

and the God of Israel is your rear guard.

11 Depart, depart, go out from there!

Touch no unclean thing;

go out from the midst of it, purify yourselves,

you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12 For you shall not go out in haste,

and you shall not go in flight;

for the Lord will go before you,

and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

11 Depart, depart, go out from there! You must not touch any unclean thing.

Go out from the midst of it, keep clean, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.

12 For you shall not go out in haste,

and you shall not go in flight,

for Yahweh is going before you,

and your rear guard is the God of Israel.

11 You who carry the articles that belong to the Lord’s temple, leave Babylon!

Leave it! Get out of there!

Don’t touch anything that isn’t pure and clean.

Come out of Babylon and be pure.

12 But this time you won’t have to leave in a hurry.

You won’t have to rush away.

The Lord will go ahead of you and lead you.

The God of Israel will follow behind you and guard you.

11 Depart, depart, go out from there,

Touch nothing unclean;

Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves,

You who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12 But you will not go out in haste,

Nor will you go as fugitives;

For the Lord will go before you,

And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
