# 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.
|
||
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. |
