ISAIAH ยท Chapter 52
52:1 Awake, awake; put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful
garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more
come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
52:2 Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:
loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
52:3 For thus says the LORD, All of you have sold yourselves for nothing;
and all of you shall be redeemed without money.
52:4 For thus says the Lord GOD, My people went down in old times into
Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD, that my people
is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail,
says the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know
in that day that I am he that does speak: behold, it is I.
52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings
good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that
publishes salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns!
52:8 Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring
again Zion.
52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, all of you waste places of
Jerusalem: for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
52:10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
52:11 Depart all of you, depart all of you, go all of you out from
thence, touch no unclean thing; go all of you out of the midst of her;
be all of you clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
52:12 For all of 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.
52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted
and extolled, and be very high.
52:14 As many were astonished at you; his visage was so ruined more
than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their
mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and
that which they had not heard shall they consider.
