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
Wake Up, Zion
1Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, Zion!
Put on your beautiful clothes, holy city of Jerusalem.
Godless and evil people will no longer come to you.
2Shake the dust from yourselves.
Get up, captive Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains around your neck, captive people of Zion.
3This is what the Lord says: You were sold, but no price was paid. You will be bought back, but without money.
4This is what the Almighty Lord says: In the beginning my people went to Egypt to live there as foreigners. Later the Assyrians oppressed them for no reason. 5So what do I find here? asks the Lord. My people are taken away for no reason. Their rulers are screaming, declares the Lord. And my name is cursed all day long. 6Now my people will know my name. When that day comes, ⌞they will know⌟ that I am the one who says, “Here I am!”
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger
who announces the good news, “All is well.”
He brings the good news,
announces salvation,
and tells Zion that its God rules as king.
8Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices
and shout together joyfully.
When the Lord brings Zion back,
they will see it with their own eyes.
9Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem.
The Lord will comfort his people.
He will reclaim Jerusalem.
10The Lord will show his holy power to all the nations.
All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11Run away! Run away!
Get away from there!
Do not touch anything unclean.#52:11 “Unclean” refers to anything that Moses’ Teachings say is not presentable to God.
Get away from it!
Make yourselves pure,
you Levites who carry the utensils for the Lord’s temple.
12You will not go away in a hurry,
nor will you go away quickly.
The Lord will go ahead of you.
The God of Israel will guard you from behind.
The Suffering Servant
13My servant will be successful.
He will be respected, praised, and highly honored.
14Many will be shocked by him.#52:14 Two Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Targum; Masoretic Text “you.”
His appearance will be so disfigured
that he won’t look like any other man.
His looks will be so disfigured
that he will hardly look like a human.
15He will cleanse many nations ⌞with his blood⌟.
Kings will shut their mouths because of him.
They will see things that they had never been told.
They will understand things that they had never heard.
