# Chapter 52
|
|
1. "Wake up, wake up;
|
|
put on your strength, Zion!
|
|
Put on your beautiful garments,
|
|
Jerusalem, the holy city!
|
|
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
|
|
will no longer enter you.
|
|
|
|
2. Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!
|
|
Take your seat, Jerusalem.
|
|
Remove the bonds from your neck,
|
|
captive Daughter Zion."
|
|
|
|
3. For this is what the Lord says:
|
|
"You were sold for nothing,
|
|
and you will be redeemed without silver."
|
|
|
|
4. For this is what the Lord God says:
|
|
"At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,
|
|
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
|
|
|
|
5. So now what have I here"--
|
|
this is the Lord's declaration--
|
|
"that my people are taken away for nothing?
|
|
Its rulers wail"--
|
|
this is the Lord's declaration--
|
|
"and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.
|
|
|
|
6. Therefore my people will know my name;
|
|
therefore they will know on that day
|
|
that I am he who says,
|
|
'Here I am.'"
|
|
|
|
7. How beautiful on the mountains
|
|
are the feet of the herald,
|
|
who proclaims peace,
|
|
who brings news of good things,
|
|
who proclaims salvation,
|
|
who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
|
|
|
|
8. The voices of your watchmen--
|
|
they lift up their voices,
|
|
shouting for joy together;
|
|
for every eye will see
|
|
when the Lord returns to Zion.
|
|
|
|
9. Be joyful, rejoice together,
|
|
you ruins of Jerusalem!
|
|
For the Lord has comforted his people;
|
|
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
10. The Lord has displayed his holy arm
|
|
in the sight of all the nations;
|
|
all the ends of the earth will see
|
|
the salvation of our God.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The Servant's Suffering and Exaltation
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. See, my servant will be successful;
|
|
he will be raised and lifted up and greatly exalted.
|
|
|
|
14. Just as many were appalled at you--
|
|
his appearance was so disfigured
|
|
that he did not look like a man,
|
|
and his form did not resemble a human being--
|
|
|
|
15. so he will sprinkle many nations.
|
|
Kings will shut their mouths because of him,
|
|
for they will see what had not been told them,
|
|
and they will understand what they had not heard.
