ISA-52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy

beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth

there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the

unclean.

ISA-52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O

Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive

daughter of Zion.

ISA-52:3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for

nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

ISA-52:4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down

aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian

oppressed them without cause.

ISA-52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that

my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them

make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every

day [is] blasphemed.

ISA-52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they

shall know] in that day that I [am] he that doth speak: behold,

[it is] I.

ISA-52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him

that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth

good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto

Zion, Thy God reigneth!

ISA-52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice

together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when

the LORD shall bring again Zion.

ISA-52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of

Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath

redeemed Jerusalem.

ISA-52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of

all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the

salvation of our God.

ISA-52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no

unclean [thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean,

that bear the vessels of the LORD.

ISA-52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight:

for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be]

your rereward.

ISA-52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be

exalted and extolled, and be very high.

ISA-52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so

marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

ISA-52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall

shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told

them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall

they consider. 1
