Isaiah 52:3-15

3For this is what the Lord says: “You were 1sold for nothing, and you will be 2redeemed 3without money.” 4For this is what the Lord 4God says: “My people 5went down to Egypt first to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without reason. 5And now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My 6name is continually reviled all day long. 6Therefore, My people shall 7know My name; therefore on that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”

7How delightful on the mountains Are the feet of one who brings 8good news, Who announces 9peace And brings good news of 10happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, “Your 11God 12reigns!”8Listen! Your watchmen raise their 13voices, They shout joyfully together; For they will see 14with their own eyes When the Lord restores Zion.915Be cheerful, shout joyfully together, You 16ruins of Jerusalem; For the Lord has comforted His people, He has 17redeemed Jerusalem.10The Lord has bared His holy 18arm In the sight of all the nations, 19So that 20all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.

1121Depart, depart, go out from there, 22Do not touch what is unclean; Go out of the midst of her, 23purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the Lord.12But you will not go out in 24a hurry, Nor will you go 25as fugitives; For the 26Lord will go before you, And 27the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

13Behold, My 28Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and 29greatly 30exalted.14Just as many were appalled at you, My people, So His 31appearance was marred beyond that of a man, And His form beyond the sons of mankind.15So 32He will 33sprinkle many nations, Kings will 34shut their mouths on account of Him; For 35what they had not been told, they will see, And what they had not heard, they will understand.
