Isaiah 52:1-6

The Lord’s Coming Salvation

1 ^aAwake, awake,
put on your strength, O Zion;
^bput on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, ^cthe holy city;
^dfor there shall no more come into you
the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 ^eShake yourself from the dust and arise;
be seated, O Jerusalem;
^floose the bonds from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the Lord: ^g“You were sold for nothing, and ^hyou shall be redeemed without money.” 4 For thus says the Lord God: ⁱ“My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing. ^{▼▼Or the Assyrian has oppressed them of late} 5 Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and ^kcontinually all the day my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. ^lTherefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”
