Isaiah 52
52
1 Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O Zion! Put on the garments of your glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer pass through you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust! Arise and sit up, O Jerusalem! Loose the chains from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3 For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.
4 For thus says the Lord God: My people descended into Egypt, in the beginning, in order to sojourn there. But the Assyrian oppressed them, without any cause at all.
5 And now, what is left for me here, says the Lord? For my people have been taken away without cause. Their lords treat them unjustly, says the Lord. And my name is being continually blasphemed all day long.
6 Because of this, my people will know my name, in that day. For it is I myself who is speaking. Behold, I am here.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger and the preacher of peace! Announcing good and preaching peace, they are saying to Zion, "Your God will reign!"
8 It is the voice of your watchmen. They have lifted up their voice. They will praise together. For they will see eye to eye, when the Lord converts Zion.
9 Be glad and rejoice together, O deserts of Jerusalem! For the Lord has consoled his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has prepared his holy arm, in the sight of all the Gentiles. And all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Depart, depart, get out of here! Do not be willing to touch what is polluted. Go out from her midst! Be cleansed, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For you will not go out in a tumult, nor will you take flight in a hurry. For the Lord will precede you, and the God of Israel will gather you.
13 Behold, my servant will understand; he will be exalted and lifted up, and he will be very sublime.
14 Just as they were stupefied over you, so will his countenance be without glory among men, and his appearance, among the sons of men.
15 He will sprinkle many nations; kings will close their mouth because of him. And those to whom he was not described, have seen. And those who have not heard, have considered.

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
