Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
And another voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Come out of her, my people, so that you may have no part in her sins and in her punishments.
And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.
