52:1  Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you.

52:2  Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

52:3  For thus says the LORD, "You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money."

52:4  For thus says the Lord GOD, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

52:5  "Now therefore, what do I have here, declares the LORD, "seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?" {Again} the LORD declares, "Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long."

52:6  "Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, `Here I am.'"

52:7  How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, {And} says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

52:8  Listen! Your watchmen lift up {their} voices, They shout joyfully together; For they will see with their own eyes When the LORD restores Zion.

52:9  Break forth, shout joyfully together, You waste places of Jerusalem; For the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.

52:10  The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.

52:11  Depart, depart, go out from there, Touch nothing unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the LORD.

52:12  But you will not go out in haste, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel {will be} your rear guard.

52:13  Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

52:14  Just as many were astonished at you, {My people,} So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men.

52:15  Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand.
