Isaiah 52
52
Ma Navu: The Song of Salvation
1Awake, awake! Clothe yourself in your strength, Zion! Clothe yourself in beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for the uncircumcised and the unclean will never invade you again.
2Shake off the dust and arise! Be enthroned, Jerusalem. Loose the bonds off your neck, captive Daughter of Zion.
3For thus says Adonai: “You were sold for nothing. So you will be redeemed without silver.”
4For thus says Adonai Elohim: “At first My people went down to Egypt to reside there, then the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.
5“Now therefore, what do I have here?” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “My people are taken away for nothing? Its rulers wail” —it is Adonai’s declaration— “and My Name is continually blasphemed all day long.
6Therefore My people will know My Name. Therefore in that day, I am the One who will be saying, ‘Hineni!’”
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces shalom, who brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8The voice of your watchmen— they will lift up their voices. Together they are shouting for joy! For they will see eye to eye when Adonai returns to Zion.
9Break forth in joy, sing together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for Adonai has comforted His people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10Adonai has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11Leave, leave! Get out of there! Touch no unclean thing. Go out of her midst. Purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Adonai.
12For you will not go out in haste, nor will you go in flight, for Adonai will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Fourth Servant Song: The Lamb
13“Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.
14Just as many were appalled at You— His appearance was disfigured more than any man, His form more than the sons of men.
15So He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him, for what had not been told them they will see, and what they had not heard they will perceive.

Isaiah 52
52
1Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again. 2Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion. 3This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
4This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason. 5What do I have to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord. 6So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
7What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!” 8The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem. 9Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free. 10The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
11Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan;#52:11. “Pagan”: literally “unclean,” likely referring to anything associated with idol worship. come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves. 12But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
13Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to. 14But many were horrified by him,#52:14. “Him”: This is the reading of the Syriac and the Targums. Hebrew has “you.” so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human. 15He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
