Isaiah 52
52
1#Rev 21:27; Ne 11:1; Isa 51:17 Awake, awake!
Put on your strength, O Zion;
put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city.
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
will no longer enter you.
2#Isa 51:14; 51:23 Shake yourself from the dust;
arise, O captive Jerusalem.
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
3#Isa 45:13; Ps 44:12For thus says the Lord:
You were sold for nothing,
and you shall be redeemed without money.
4#Ge 46:6For thus says the Lord God:
My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there;
then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5#Ro 2:24Now therefore, what do I have here, says the Lord,
seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them make them wail,
says the Lord,
and My name is continually blasphemed
all day long.
6Therefore, My people shall know My name;
therefore, they shall know in that day
that I am He who does speak:
Here I am.
7#Isa 40:9; Na 1:15; Ps 93:1 How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who proclaims peace,
who brings good news of happiness,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
8#Isa 62:6; 1Co 13:12 Your watchmen lift up their voices;
they sing joyfully together;
for they shall see with their own eyes
when the Lord brings Zion back.
9#Isa 51:3; 48:20 Break forth into joy, sing together,
you waste places of Jerusalem.
For the Lord has comforted His people;
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10#Isa 51:9; Lk 3:6 The Lord 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#Isa 48:20; 2Co 6:17 Depart, depart, go out from there,
touch no unclean thing;
go out of the midst of her; be clean,
you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12#Ex 12:33; Isa 58:8 For you 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 rear guard.
The Suffering Servant
13#Isa 42:1; 9:6–7; 53:10–11 See, My servant shall deal prudently;
he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14#Ps 22:15; 22:17 Just as many were astonished at you,
his visage was so marred, more than any man,
and his form more than the sons of men;
15#Isa 49:7; 49:23 so he shall sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at him;
for that which had not been told them they shall see,
and that which they had not heard they shall consider.

Isaiah 52
52
Deliverance for Jerusalem
1Awake, awake,
clothe yourself with strength, O Zion!
Put on your garments of splendor,
O Jerusalem, holy city!
For the uncircumcised and unclean
will no longer enter you.
2Shake off your dust!
Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem.
Remove the chains from your neck,
O captive Daughter of Zion.
3For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed.”
4For this is what the Lord GOD says:
“At first My people went down to Egypt to live,
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
5And now what have I here?
declares the Lord.
For My people have been taken without cause;
those who rule them taunt,#52:5 DSS and Vulgate; MT wail
declares the Lord,
and My name is blasphemed continually
all day long.#52:5 LXX—on account of you My name is blasphemed continually among the Gentiles; cited in Romans 2:24
6Therefore My people will know My name;
therefore they will know on that day
that I am He who speaks.
Here I am!”
7How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,#52:7 Cited in Romans 10:15
who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
together they shout for joy.
For every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.
9Break forth in joy, sing together,
O ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted His people;
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10The Lord has bared His holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
11Depart, depart, go out from there!
Touch no unclean thing;#52:11 Cited in 2 Corinthians 6:17
come out from it, purify yourselves,
you who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12For you will not leave in a hurry
nor flee in haste,
for the Lord goes before you,
and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
The Servant Exalted
(Philippians 2:5–11)
13Behold, My Servant will prosper;#52:13 Or will act wisely
He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14Just as many were appalled at Him #52:14 Syriac; Hebrew at You—
His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man,
and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
15so He will sprinkle #52:15 Or startle many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths because of Him.
For they will see what they have not been told,
and they will understand what they have not heard.#52:15 LXX For those who were not told will see, and those who have not heard will understand. Cited in Romans 15:21
