God Redeems Jerusalem
1 Awake, awake!
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
For the uncircumcised aand the unclean
Shall no longer come to you.
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
For the uncircumcised aand the unclean
Shall no longer come to you.
2 aShake yourself from the dust, arise;
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
bLoose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion!
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
bLoose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion!

a“You have sold yourselves for nothing,
And you shall be redeemed bwithout money.”

“My people went down at first
Into aEgypt to dwell there;
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
