Isaiah 52:1-12 - Yahweh Redeems Zion
1 Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For never again shall come to you uncircumcised and unclean ones. 2 Shake yourself from the dust; rise up! Sit, Jerusalem! Free yourself from your neckbands, O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For so says Jehovah, You were sold for nothing; and you shall not be redeemed with silver. 4 For so says the Lord Jehovah, My people went down before into Egypt to stay there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and without ceasing My name is blasphemed every day. 6 Therefore My people shall know My name; So it shall be in that day, for I am He who speaks; behold, it is I.
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, making peace heard; who brings good news, making salvation heard; who says to Zion, Your God reigns! 8 The voice of Your watchmen shall lift up! They lift up the voice together; they sing aloud. For they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion. 9 Break out, sing together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Turn! Turn! Go out from there! Touch not the unclean. Go out of her midst; purify yourself, bearers of the vessels of Jehovah. 12 For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel gathers you.
