Isaiah 52
52:1Awaken! Awaken, O Zion! Put on your strength, O Zion! And you, put on your glory, O Jerusalem, the holy city! No longer shall there proceed to go through you uncircumcised and unclean.
52:2Shake off the dust and rise up! Sit, O Jerusalem! Take off the bond from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
52:3For thus says the lord, You were sold without charge, and you shall not be ransomed with silver.
52:4For thus says the Lord the lord. To Egypt My people went down formerly to sojourn there, and they were led into Assyria by force.
52:5And now, why shall you be here? Thus says the lord, Because my people were taken without charge, wonder and shriek! Thus says the lord, On account of you, my name always is being blasphemed among the nations.
52:6On account of this, my people shall know my name. On account of this in that day, for I am he, the one speaking; I am at hand.
52:7As an hour upon the mountains, as feet announcing good news, the hearing of peace, as of announcing good news -- good things; for audibly I will produce your deliverance, saying, Zion, Your God shall reign.
52:8The voice of the ones guarding you is exalted, and with the voice together they shall be glad. For eyes to eyes shall see when ever the lord should show mercy on Zion.
52:9Let the desolate places of Jerusalem break asunder with gladness together! for the lord showed mercy on her, and rescued Jerusalem.
52:10And the lord shall uncover his holy arm in the presence of all the nations. And all the uttermost parts of the earth shall see the deliverance by our God.
52:11Leave! Leave! Go forth from there, and the unclean thing do not touch! Go forth from out of the midst of it! Separate yourselves, O ones bearing the vessels of the lord!
52:12For you shall not come forth with disturbance, nor shall you go forth in flight into exile. For the lord shall go before prior of you; and the one assembling you is the God of Israel.
52:13Behold, my servant shall perceive, and he shall be exalted, and he shall be glorified, and he shall be raised up on high exceedingly.
52:14In which manner many shall be amazed by you, so the sight of your appearance shall be despised by men, and your glory by the sons of men.
52:15Thus many nations shall wonder over him; and kings shall hold their mouth. For to whom it was not announced concerning him, they shall see; and the ones who heard not shall perceive.
