Isaiah 52
52
God Will Deliver Zion from Captivity
1 #
Rev 21.2,27. Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 2Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 4For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5#Rom 2.24. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. 6Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

Nah 1.15; Rom 10.15; Eph 6.15. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 8Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. 9Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 10The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

2 Cor 6.17. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. 12For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
The Suffering of the Lord's Servant
13Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 14As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 15#Rom 15.21. so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

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
