God Redeems Jerusalem
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.
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.
“That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
1Make them wail,” says the Lord,
“And My name is ablasphemed continually every day.
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’ ”
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,
b“Your God reigns!”
| << Isaiah 52:1 | Isaiah 52:3 >> |
