# Isaiah 52 (New King James Version)
|
|
God Redeems Jerusalem
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 52
|
|
###### 1 Awake, awake!
|
|
Put on your strength, O Zion;
|
|
Put on your beautiful garments,
|
|
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
|
|
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
|
|
Shall no longer come to you.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise;
|
|
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
|
|
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
|
|
O captive daughter of Zion!
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For thus says the Lord:
|
|
"You have sold yourselves for nothing,
|
|
And you shall be redeemed without money."
|
|
|
|
###### 4 For thus says the Lord God:
|
|
"My people went down at first
|
|
Into Egypt to dwell there;
|
|
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Now therefore, what have I here," says the Lord,
|
|
"That My people are taken away for nothing?
|
|
Those who rule over them
|
|
Make them wail," says the Lord,
|
|
"And My name _is_ blasphemed continually every day.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
|
|
Therefore _they shall know_ in that day
|
|
That I _am_ He who speaks:
|
|
'Behold, _it is_ I.' "
|
|
|
|
###### 7 How beautiful upon the mountains
|
|
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
|
|
Who proclaims peace,
|
|
Who brings glad tidings of good _things,_
|
|
Who proclaims salvation,
|
|
Who says to Zion,
|
|
"Your God reigns!"
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Your watchmen shall lift up _their_ voices,
|
|
With their voices they shall sing together;
|
|
For they shall see eye to eye
|
|
When the Lord brings back Zion.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
|
|
You waste places of Jerusalem!
|
|
For the Lord has comforted His people,
|
|
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
###### 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.
|
|
|
|
###### 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.The Sin-Bearing Servant
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently;
|
|
He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Just as many were astonished at you,
|
|
So His visage was marred more than any man,
|
|
And His form more than the sons of men;
|
|
|
|
###### 15 So shall He sprinkle many nations.
|
|
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
|
|
For what had not been told them they shall see,
|
|
And what they had not heard they shall consider.
