Isaiah 52:3-15

3For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “You were 1soldH4376 for nothingH2600 and you will be 2redeemedH1350 3withoutH3808 moneyH3701.” 4For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 4GodH3068, “My peopleH5971 5wentH3381 downH3381 at the firstH7223 into EgyptH4714 to resideH1481 thereH8033; then the AssyrianH804 oppressedH6231 them withoutH657 causeH657. 5NowH6258 therefore, whatH4100 do I have hereH6311,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “seeing that My peopleH5971 have been takenH3947 away withoutH2600 causeH2600?” Again the LordH3068 declaresH5002, “Those who ruleH4910 over them howlH3213, and My 6nameH8034 is continuallyH8548 blasphemedH5006 allH3605 dayH3117 long. 6ThereforeH3651 My peopleH5971 shall 7knowH3045 My nameH8034; thereforeH3651 in that dayH3117 I am the one who is speakingH1696, ‘HereH2009 I am.’”

7HowH4100 lovelyH4998 on the mountainsH2022 Are the feetH7272 of him who bringsH1319 8good newsH1319, Who announcesH8085 9peaceH7965 And bringsH1319 good newsH1319 of 10happinessH2896, Who announcesH8085 salvationH3444, And saysH559 to ZionH6726, “Your 11GodH430 12reignsH4427!”8ListenH6963! Your watchmenH6822 liftH5375 up their 13voicesH6963, They shoutH7442 joyfullyH7442 togetherH3164; For they will seeH7200 14with their ownH5869 eyesH5869 When the LordH3068 restoresH7725 ZionH6726.915BreakH6476 forthH6476, shoutH7442 joyfullyH7442 togetherH3164, You 16wasteH2723 placesH2723 of JerusalemH3389; For the LordH3068 has comfortedH5162 His peopleH5971, He has 17redeemedH1350 JerusalemH3389.10The LordH3068 has baredH2834 His holyH6944 18armH2220 In the sightH5869 of allH3605 the nationsH1471, 19That 20allH3605 the endsH657 of the earthH776 may seeH7200 The salvationH3444 of our GodH430.

1121DepartH5493, departH5493, goH3318 out from thereH8033, 22TouchH5060 nothingH408 uncleanH2931; GoH3318 out of the midstH8432 of her, 23purifyH1305 yourselves, You who carryH5375 the vesselsH3627 of the LordH3068.12But you will not goH3318 out in 24hasteH2649, NorH3808 will you goH1980 25as fugitivesH4499; For the 26LordH3068 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you, And 27the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will be your rearH622 guardH622.

13BeholdH2009, My 28servantH5650 will prosperH7919, He will be highH7311 and liftedH5375 up and 29greatlyH3966 30exaltedH1361.14JustH3512 as manyH7227 were astonishedH8074 at you, My people, SoH3651 His 31appearanceH4758 was marredH4893 moreH4480 thanH4480 anyH376 manH376 And His formH8389 moreH4480 thanH4480 the sonsH1121 of menH120.15ThusH3651 He will 32sprinkleH5137 manyH7227 nationsH1471, KingsH4428 will 33shutH7092 their mouthsH6310 on accountH5921 of Him; For 34whatH834 had not been toldH5608 them they will seeH7200, And whatH834 they had not heardH8085 they will understandH995.
