Isaiah 52
52
CHAPTER 52
1Rise thou, Zion, rise thou, be thou clothed in thy strength; Jerusalem, the city of the Holy, be thou clothed in the clothes of thy glory; for a man uncircumcised and a man unclean shall no more lay to, that he pass by thee.
2Jerusalem, be thou shaken out of [the] dust; rise thou, sit thou; thou daughter of Zion, prisoner, unbind the bonds of thy neck.
3For the Lord saith these things, Ye be sold without cause, and ye shall be again-bought without silver.
4For the Lord God saith these things, My people in the beginning went down into Egypt, that it should be there an earth-tiller, either a comeling, and Assur falsely challenged it without any cause.
5And now what is to me here? saith the Lord; for my people is taken away without cause; the lords thereof do wickedly, saith the Lord, and my name is blasphemed continually all day.
6For this thing my people shall know my name in that day, for lo! I myself that spake, am present.
7Full fair be the feet of him that telleth, and preacheth peace on hills [or mountains], of him that telleth good tidings, of him that preacheth health, and saith, Zion, thy God shall reign.
8The voice of thy beholders; they raised the voice, they shall praise together; for they shall see with eye to eye, when the Lord hath converted Zion.
9The deserted, either forsaken, things of Jerusalem, make ye joy, and praise ye together; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath again-bought Jerusalem.
10The Lord hath made ready his holy arm in the eyes of all folks, and all the ends of the earth shall see the health of our God.
11Go ye away, go ye away, go ye out from thence; do not ye touch [the] defouled thing, go ye out from the midst thereof; be ye cleansed, that bear the vessels of the Lord.
12For ye shall not go out in noise, neither ye shall haste in flying away; for why the Lord shall go before you, and the God of Israel shall gather you together.
13Lo! my servant shall understand, and he shall be enhanced, and he shall be raised, and he shall be full high.
14As many men wondered on him, so his beholding shall be without glory among men, and the form, either shape, of him among the sons of men.
15He shall besprinkle many folks; kings shall hold together their mouth on him; for they shall see, to which it was not told of him, and they that heard not, beheld.

Isaiah 52
52
1Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion.
Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city,
for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2Shake yourself from the dust!
Arise, sit up, Jerusalem!
Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;
and you will be redeemed without money.”
4For the Lord Yahweh says:
“My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there;
and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh,
“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh,
“and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6Therefore my people shall know my name.
Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks.
Behold, it is I.”
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace,
who brings good news,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8Your watchmen lift up their voice.
Together they sing;
for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9Break out into joy!
Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem;
for Yahweh has comforted his people.
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing!
Go out from among her!
Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
12For you shall not go out in haste,
neither shall you go by flight;
for Yahweh will go before you,
and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13Behold, my servant will deal wisely.
He will be exalted and lifted up,
and will be very high.
14Just as many were astonished at you—
his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
15so he will cleanse#52:15 or, sprinkle many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths at him;
for they will see that which had not been told them,
and they will understand that which they had not heard.
