The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
52: 1Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the
holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
52:2Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit on your throne, Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds
of your neck, captive daughter of Zion. 52:3For thus says Yahweh, You were sold for nothing; and
you shall be redeemed without money. 52:4For thus says the Lord Yahweh, My people went down at
the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause. 52:5Now
therefore, what do I here, says Yahweh, seeing that my people is taken away for nothing? those
who rule over them do howl, says Yahweh, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
52:6Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he
who does speak; behold, it is I. 52:7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings
good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who
says to Zion, Your God reigns! 52:8The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do
they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion. 52:9Break forth into joy, sing
together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people, he has redeemed
Jerusalem. 52:10Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of
the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 52:11Depart you, depart you, go you out from there,
touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, you who bear the
vessels of Yahweh. 52:12For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh
will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. 52:13Behold, my servant shall deal
wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. 52:14Like as many were astonished
at you (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
52:15so shall he sprinkle many nations; 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 understand.
