Isaiah 52
52
1Aries, arise: put on thy strength, O Zion: put on thy garments of thy beautie, O Ierusalem, the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised and the vncleane. 2Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose the bandes of thy necke, O thou captiue daughter, Zion. 3For thus sayeth the Lord, Yee were solde for naught: therefore shall ye be redeemed without money. 4For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe afore time into Egypt to soiourne there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause. 5Nowe therefore what haue I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is blasphemed? 6Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doe speake: beholde, it is I. 7How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth? 8The voyce of thy watchmen shalbe heard: they shall lift vp their voyce, and shoute together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring againe Zion. 9O ye desolate places of Ierusalem, bee glad and reioyce together: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Ierusalem. 10The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God. 11Depart, depart ye: goe out from thence and touche no vncleane thing: goe out of the middes of her: be ye cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord. 12For ye shall not goe out with haste, nor depart by fleeing away: but the Lord will goe before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together. 13Beholde, my seruant shall prosper: he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very hie. 14As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so deformed of men, and his forme of the sonnes of men) so shall hee sprinkle many nations: the Kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that which had not bene tolde them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they vnderstande.

Isaiah 52
52
1“Wake up, wake up;
put on your strength, Zion!
Put on your beautiful garments,#Is 61:3
Jerusalem, the holy city!#Neh 11:1; Is 48:2
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
will no longer enter you.#Is 35:8; Rv 21:27
2Stand up, shake the dust off yourself!
Take your seat, Jerusalem.
Remove the bonds#52:2 Alt Hb tradition reads The bonds are removed from your neck,
captive Daughter Zion.”
3For this is what the Lord says:
“You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without silver.”#Is 45:13; 1Pt 1:18
4For this is what the Lord God says:
“At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,#Gn 46:6
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.#52:4 Or them at last, or them for nothing
5So now what have I here” —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
“that my people are taken away for nothing?
Its rulers wail” —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
“and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.#Ezk 36:20; Rm 2:24
6Therefore my people will know my name;#Is 49:23
therefore they will know on that day
that I am he who says,
‘Here I am.’”
7How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the herald,
who proclaims peace,
who brings news of good things,#Nah 1:15; Rm 10:15
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” #Ps 93:1; Is 24:23
8The voices of your watchmen#Is 62:6 —
they lift up their voices,
shouting for joy together;
for every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.
9Be joyful, rejoice together,
you ruins of Jerusalem!#Is 44:26; 51:3; 61:4
For the Lord has comforted his people;#Is 40:1
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10The Lord has displayed his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;#Ps 98:1–3; Is 51:9; 66:18–19
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.#Is 40:5; Lk 3:6
11Leave, leave, go out from there!#Is 48:20; Jr 50:8; Ezk 20:34,41; Zch 2:6,7; 2Co 6:17
Do not touch anything unclean;
go out from her, purify yourselves,#2Co 6:17; 2Tm 2:19
you who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12For you will not leave in a hurry,#Ex 12:11,33; Dt 16:3
and you will not have to take flight;
because the Lord is going before you,#Ex 23:23; Dt 1:30; 31:8; Is 45:2
and the God of Israel is your rear guard.#Jos 6:9,13; Is 58:8
The Servant’s Suffering and Exaltation
13See, my servant#52:13 Tg adds the Messiah#Is 42:1; 49:3–7; 50:10; 53:11; Ezk 34:23–24; Zch 3:8; Ac 3:13 will be successful;#52:13 Or will act wisely
he will be raised and lifted up and greatly exalted.#Php 2:9–11
14Just as many were appalled at you#52:14 Some Hb mss, Syr, Tg read him —
his appearance was so disfigured
that he did not look like a man,
and his form did not resemble a human being —
15so he will sprinkle many nations.#52:15 LXX reads so many nations will marvel at him#Nm 19:18–21; Ezk 36:25
Kings will shut their mouths because of him,
for they will see what had not been told them,
and they will understand what they had not heard.#Rm 15:21; Eph 3:5
