Chapter
52
- 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.
- 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.
- 52:3
- For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought;
and ye shall be redeemed without money.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 52:9
- Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem:
for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 52:13
- Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted
and extolled, and be very high.
- 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:
- 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.
