Isaias (Isaiah) 52
52
1ARISE, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
2Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
3For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
4For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
5And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis? They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
6Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold, I am here.
7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings and that preacheth peace, of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
8The voice of thy watchmen. They have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion
9Rejoice and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem, for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing. Go out of the midst of her. Be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
12For you shall not go out in a tumult: neither shall you make haste by flight. For the Lord will go before you: and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13Behold, my servant shall understand: he shall be exalted and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
14As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men and his form among the sons of men.
15He shall sprinkle many nations: kings shall shut their mouth at him. For they to whom it was not told of him have seen: and they that heard not have beheld.

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
