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.

Isaiah 52:3
As you became your foes' servants, without their paying any price for you (Jeremiah 15:13), so they shall release you without demanding any price or reward (Isaiah 45:13), (where Cyrus is represented as doing so: a type of their final restoration gratuitously in like manner). So the spiritual Israel, "sold under sin," gratuitously (Romans 7:14), shall be redeemed also gratuitously (Isaiah 55:1).
